It's dark :-X ::)

I'm assuming it's the Cost Concordia? My old man was meant to be on board when it capsized but they bumped him (consultant) in favour of a paying customer :o

I think they said it would take about a year to right it and tow it away .

Its not going to move .... i think they are building the platform cage thing at that side for when they re-float it.

This is the one that was in Sutton Harbour (Plymouth) to set up for the Americas Cup. Same colour but the rigging looks different to me :-\

It says 'Mtador 3' on the jib (or it did before I reduced the resolution......)

It is actually 'Matador 3'. It seems I can't type and my memory is failing :(. This crane only came in to shelter from the weather.

The Americas Cup used two cranes standing on the quayside & some rather impressive lifting gear attached to the container ship the yachts came in on.

Looks like the crane in the photo is an Italian one (the 'Micoperi 30')

Right, had enough of crane spotting now  ::)
