Nice little vid, thanks for posting, those were the hardworking days, can you imagine the H+S guys letting anyone do that now?!?

That would have been a great time to clean the lower hull of barnicles, and maybe a little paint too...

I'm surprised the pesky Cornish didn't strip her.

The ship never was re-floated, it was scrapped.

"The SS Tripolitania ran aground at Loe Bar on Boxing Day 1912. This steamer could not make any headway against a fierce gale and was grounded. Attempts to refloat her were continued for nearly two years, but were unsuccessful. She was broken up there on the Bar."

Thanks for posting annanoli. Seen a few vids of yours, I instantly recognised this one from the content (Italian ships) and the music! Keep them coming :-)

@annanoli I wasnt being critical, I was saying how different things were then as opposed to now, where everyone has to wear hard hats and go through endless health and safety meetings etc..

Very, very good vid! It must have been backbreaking work in those times.

And I thought the on screen comments were funny. I guess that's what happens when you have a sense of humor.
