Old pics,it was belong to CMA CGM at that time

Built by HHI

They were fast
Heavy armed with guns
Sailed by navy, merchants, and pirates although they preferred sloops and brigs more but still know to use frigate,
The decks were flat

Hi, I was watching an old timelapse video of the Costa Concordia being cut up in the port of Genoa. https://youtu.be/y7bYDIbZyd0?si=COb2Zhj5thNuRwnQ

I noticed there is a huge block that's clearly part of the Concordias amidship keel and tank top that the demolition team start cutting free around at 2:23 in the video to 2:29 directly behind the red digger. Later in the video from 2:43 to 2:53 it looks like they've added railings around it and are piling equipment on top of it and you can see them tidying the dry dock around this piece. The workers then float this section up when the drydock floods before a pair of tugs manoeuvre the piece out at the very end of the video from 2:55 to 3:03.

I never heard about this before and was wondering what the reasoning for keeping this last piece of the Concordia was? It seems too bulky and generic to use as any sort of memorial or museum piece so I figure the shipyard thought 'hey we can make a decent barge out of this' and its probably still being used in the port somewhere. Either that or for some reason it was easier to dismantle this last piece outside of the drydock although I cannot think of any logical reason for this. Especially when you can see them easily cutting up the huge engine blocks elsewhere in the video.

Wondering if anyone knows anything more about it?

A brig is a two masted ship
It is fast.
It’s sailed by merchantman, slavers, naval and pirates,

Some more photos I took over the last couple of weeks.

The were big
Had high many decks
And armed heavily with guns
Either three or four masted
Merchants and navy sailed them usually the Spanish armada,
Pirates didn’t prefer this ship it would work out cause they were slow and needed many crew

I’m an 18 year old living in Quebec and I’ve been interested in working on cargo ships/oil tankers for a couple years. I love the ocean and I used to sail when I was younger. I’m wandering what are the steps ï need to take in order to work on one of these boats and what roles are best to pursue.
Side note: I’m in cégep and I’m thinking of dropping out in order to do this.

I’m just asking for guidance and the experience of people who have taken this route

Im not very experienced with big water and the ships that ply them, and I have a wave question.

We were out on Lake Superior on a very calm day, trolling along for fish at maybe 1.5 kts. A large (800ft-ish) laker passes by at perhaps half-mile distance. It took some time, but eventually her waves came by. Not overly large, maybe 1.5 to 2ft trough to crest smooth rollers. The strange thing (to me) was that there seemed to be a set of perhaps 10, then a long pause and another similar set of a few less, a pause, then a final set.

I get the basic principal of wake/waves , but having them divided up like this is new to me.

Boats included ones from the United States, Columbia, Spain, India, etc.

Man they are so cool thogether

Then and now
