Merry parbuckling day!

Both from a engineering standpoint and as a cruise lover I have been watching this project closely, anyone else excited for today?

Anticipated plan.

Thanks for the live stream link -- I heard on the radio this morning that today was the day, and I wondered if there would be streaming of it for the armchair engineers. (Didn't know it had a name! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parbuckle_salvage)) What's with the rooster? By the way, the theparbucklingproject.com link is down -- I hope they have better luck with the ship than websites? :)

Is it going to be repaired and cruise again? If so, will it be under the same management? :rolleyes:

It will be towed and sold for scrap.

Well the next phase is complete and it looks like refloat will be on Monday.
