Costa Concordia Takes Final Voyage

We last wrote about the fate of the wrecked cruise ship Costa Concordia on July 12, some eleven days ago. Today the refloatation process is complete and the ship has been found minimally seaworthy.

The painfully slow process of towing her to Genoa began this morning, according to CNN News. Once there she will be scrapped, a process the article estimates will take about two years.

It is a sad fate for a proud ship victimized by poor seamanship and worse judgment.
