[quote]Sweet baby Jeeezus! How big is their hacksaw?!
Appears to have not only cut right through the entire ship but even through an unfortuantely placed people-carrier/4x4. Impressive stuff.

They actually used an enormous draw cable.... infact... I belive they used 1 cable per cut... Strung between two platforms anchored to the sea bed...
An amazing opperation!

All of the 'Tasman Spirit' just outside Karachi harbour in September 2003.
Not really a wreck, the 'Sea Giant' beached on Gadani Beach in Pakistan prior to breaking in September 2003, the last of a class of 4 'Batillus' supertankers, the second largest ships ever built, but with the largest Gross Registered Tonnage of any ship ever built.

Not really shipwrecks but anyone got any nice shots of the shipbreaking yards in Bangladesh etc?

Lady Elizabeth in the Falklands. Can't be many square-rigger wrecks that are nearly 100 years old with a yardarm still in place. Built to last! Allegedly used as an observation post by the SAS in the 82 war.
