That is what happens when you send a ship to a scrap yard.

That's an impressive amount of momentum to get that thing that far up the beach... Wow :thumbsup

Your horn works..... Try your lights.....

This is at a ship scrap yard in Turkey I believe. They land them full steam then chain them to landing area. It would be awesome to watch in person. I bet.

Aliaga Turkey, ship scrapyard.

No need for drydock, they just ram em up on the beach and start cutting them up.

Imagine the pollution control guys in California seeing that? LOL They'd choke on the lead based paint and asbestos!

Those old ships are loaded with asbestos. The AQMD would have fines on anyone close by holding just a screwdriver.

Come in hot!

 

[Waterheater]

I want to do that!

 

[Rivertoys]

[Racey]

Should have used a bigger throttle return spring.......

[spotondl]

The guy on the forklift was sitting there real casual.

Classic....to have Riverrat911 tell it that is the way I came in with my Malibu to the upper sandbar several years back!

The River Clyde in Scotland is where they have big shipyards.

They had a last supper the day of the beaching
she's a dead ship sailing skeleton crew
the galley is empty the stove pots are cooling
whats left of the stew
the time is approaching the captain moves over
the hangman steps in to do what he's paid for
with the wind and the tide she goes proud ahead steaming
he drives her hard into the shore

so far from the clyde
together we ride
we did ride

as if to a wave from her bow to her rudder
bravely she rises to meet with the land
under their feet they all feel the keel shudder
the shallow sea washes the land
later the captain shakes hands with the hangman
climbs slowly down to the oily wet ground
goes back to the car that has come here to take him
from the graveyard and back to the town

so far from the clyde
together we ride
we did ride

they pull out her cables and hack off her hatches
too poor to be wasteful with pity or time
they swarm on her carcass with torches and axes
like a whale on a bloody shore line
stripped of her pillars, her stays and her stanchions
when there's only her bones on the wet poison land
steel ropes will drag her with winches and engines
'til there's only a stain on the sand

so far from the clyde
together we ride
we did ride
so far from the clyde
together we ride
we did ride

Those machine was ripping that ship apart like as if they were made out of sheet metal.

 

[Old Texan]

Wonder if that's where that Italian cruise ship Captain that ran aground last year works now? He'd be great at it.:skull

Him shoe horning that vessel between two others reminds me of ramming your skiff between others in Catalina to make room to park at the docks. :thumbsup
