I heard it was 27m.... Though judging from the news footage it looks like the ship has a beam of 28m :lol2:

Shame some nasty salvage/comm divers are going to move it..... Unless closer to the UK for wreck diving!

Just come off BBC News 24 and it looks like the buggers are gonna lift her!! Between 19 and 28 metres for her size would have made a top wreck dive - she's virtually branners as well.

Wreckie, funnily enough we were out in the Thames estury Sat speculating. We have a 1 Ton lifting bag somewhere, but i don't think we would be able to get a BMW onto one of our RHIB's even Animal.

Some clown has driven into her this morning as well. Maybe a repeat of all those ships crashing and sinking that caused the shipping lanes to be set up in the 70's.

The 1 ton bag (plus activating all the air bags for a laugh!)should lift a 3 series,maybe even a 5.Just use some 5 gallon drums and lots of ponies!
On a more serious note,once they've lifted em',give it a couple of months then watch out for "special offers" at your dealers...and cheap luxury cars(imported from Atlantis...tax free)probably with intermittent electrical faults and a radio active Cod in the boot!Don't think I'd lke to try and "dry out"a fully loaded new car.
Regards,Hobby.

The cars will all be lying on top of each other. The supports are only meant to stop them sliding to and fro, not a full 90 degree list. I reckon the salvys will remove the buggies, shove them to one side, and try and lift the vessell. This would make it easier for you to recover a knackered car, but it would still be a fun dive.

Well good news is that they managed to get the second ship (the Nicola) off her and, like Andy2tanx, it only took two tugs to get her off!!

How about a set of four alloy wheels? You don't even need a lifting bag - I reckon they will still be in good enough nick to get a couple of hundred quid per set - that would pay for a nice diving trip somewhere! Not sure what the receiver of wreck would say...
