The wrecked Italian cruise ship, the
Costa Concordia, is being towed on its final journey to the port of Genoa for
scrapping.
The Concordia struck a reef off the
Italian island of Giglio in January 2012 and capsized, killing 32 people.
The cruise ship is being towed at two
knots, almost at walking pace, with an escort of more than a dozen tug boats.
The journey, which is expected to take
four days, began shortly before 09:00 local time (07:00 GMT). This time-lapse
footage shows the first 15 minutes of the operation.
