Costa Concordia

Costa Concordia!

Costa Concordia  was a cruise ship operated by Costa Crociere. 
She was the first of the Concordia-class cruise ships!
On 13 January 2012 at 21:45, Costa Concordia struck a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the eastern shore of Isola del Giglio.
This tore open a 50 m (160 ft) gash on the port side of her hull, which soon flooded parts of the engine room, cutting power from the engines and ship services.
With water flooding in and the ship listing, she drifted back towards the island and grounded near shore, then rolled onto her starboard side, lying in an unsteady position on a rocky underwater ledge.
The evacuation of Costa Concordia took over six hours, and of the 3,229 passengers and 1,023 crew known to have been aboard, 32 died.
The wreck was salvaged three years after the incident!
So in memory of everyone who lost their life and an amazing ship this channel was created!
Costa Concordia is a big part of our history and they should have never scraped it!
