Tricolor salvage

Since everone else is talking about it, I might as well post too.

In December, the motor vessel Tricolor sank after a collision in the English Channel. It was carrying a cargo of 2862 Volvos, Saabs, BMWs and other assorted vehicles.

Here is the full story as detailed in a NYTimes.com article.

Here are some pics of the stern section of the ship being brought into the port of Zeebrugge, Belgium.

The salvage of the ship is being handled by four of the largest salvage companies in the world. In fact, they've formed a company specifically for this salvage job. This site has changed considerably from when I checked it yesterday. They are now posting news items at least once a day and today posted some amazing photos. Be sure to check this site if you're interested in this story.
