Cape Town Daily Photo

In September last year I posted a photo of this Turkish bulk carrier that had ran aground off Blouberg beach. The ship ran aground in June last year and by today’s photo I guess you can see that she’s still there!

I’m sure you can see that progress has been made in taking her apart, but still there’s an awful amount of metal that’s yet to be removed. Isn’t it weird how easy it’s for a ship to sail across the water and how difficult it is to remove it once run aground? I’m sure if it were possible that the ship would have been towed to Table Bay harbour for dismantling. :-/
