ROME (AP) - The shipwrecked Costa Concordia cruise
liner is finally ready for scrapping, after being gutted of its insides,
including furniture and wiring.
A pair of tugboats on Tuesday eased the hulking wreck
into a section of Genoa harbor where the shell of the ship is expected to start
being dismantled in a week. Last summer the Concordia made a more dramatic
journey, towed for several days to the Genoa area from the Italian island of
Giglio, where it struck a reef off the Tuscan coast in 2012 and capsized,
killing 32 people.
Starting from the top, the Concordia will be
dismantled one deck at a time and the material scrapped.
The Concordia's captain was convicted this year of
manslaughter and causing the shipwreck and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
