    More great drone footage! Thanks for doing that. When I was down there at St.Simons for a month in 2020 working I saw that wreck every day and my vantage point was on the top side and I saw that white part of the ship that is marked “only” . Seems strange to now see it sitting on that barge.But I’m not complaining.😁 Thanks again Capt Andy for keeping us all informed and stay safe out there .

    Hey Andy. Another great video of section seven. Just below the red dry chemical fire extinguisher at the rear of the engine, brown in color and covered in ripped open plastic, is, I believe a used piston and rod assembly from the engine. And just below the piston are some spare exhaust valve assemblies which are the upper most part on the engine that has the large lifting ring. There are some videos on KZread of those parts being replaced in large ship engines such as this one. Also, according to an article in a recent edition of car and driver magazine, the Golden Ray's engine is a 5522 liter, 7 cylinder, two stroke diesel making 17335 horsepower. The article also stated that the removal and clean up of the Gollden Ray will cost more than $400 million dollars in the end.

    Great job again Andy! Nice and steady on the drone, and that really helps to take in some details. One striking and sobering detail is the incredible damage an anchor chain does to any automobile. Every time they saw through another aluminum engine block, transmission, or cast iron differential, another spill of an oily contaminate will take place. That is why there will be constant slicks to patrol and clean up until the wreck is entirely removed. It is fascinating and very instructive to watch a large scale salvage operation like this take place, especially when it is being so very well documented. Keep up the great work Andy, you're helping to teach an important lesson about the real world to those who seem to think you dig potatoes out of gravy. This is the risk and responsibility we all agree to share in order to get our hands on all those shiny new cars.

    What a sight to see. So well done Sir! The main thought I had from watching this scene was the four crewmen who we rescued after the major part of the crew. Don’t you know those men must have sensed heavy fear and trepidation of being trapped in the hull wondering if this would be their tomb. I remember praying for them and the relief felt when they were removed through holes cut in the hull. This story would make a good chapter to add the the next edition of the book Bold Endeavors by Jack Stuster. It’s a book about claustrophobia and living and working in tight quarters. I’m on page 51 and enjoying it a lot.

That this virtually new vessel equipped with sophisticated cargo loading and ballasting computers should end up capsized indicates Crew malpractice! To see that engineering masterpiece of a vessel brutally shredded into disposable blocks is trully appalling! Thankfully, the engine appears to have been free from immersion and will be the salvers jewel amid the debris! Immersion in seawater utterly destroys a vessel, and the contrast between immersed sections of the wreck and those that remained above the water are remarkable, with one looking ready for work and the other utterly destroyed!

Second thing is whether or not any of the ship parts, fittings, and gear will be re-sold as re-purposed material. Third thing is whether all those automobiles will be crushed and melted down, or if parts will be put back on the market as "used - like new". I'm thinking especially of tires.

    The spare liner and Exhuast valves do not look like they were under water. So the engine not underwater is a good thing. Most like not cost effective to remove engine whole and who would buy it. But the parts can all be sent to a shop and checked and reconditioned. All these big parts like pistons, liners ROS, cylinder covers valves can be reconditioned and sold.So if they can get it in a safe position to dismantle there is money there. It was they do in the scrap yards of india.

    Andy ,please explain to me ,why in Gods name are they taking the ship parts to LA. to be salvaged. But they took the rudder, the propeller, and the main shaft and dropped them in the Atlantic Ocean, am I stupid or something, or is this whole operation off the wall.

    I believe I have watched all of your videos on this salvage operation. Have you, and if not, do you intend to describe the cutting process?? Curious how they determine the location of each cut and the process that is used ??? Is the cable/chain smooth or is there some kind of friction/abrasive added?? How do they move the cutting cable/chain?? A continuous motion or a back and forth action?? Would be pretty "interesting" if someone would explain the process!! Thanks for the great coverage on this BTW!!! 👍👍👍

What is the expected timeline for the remainder of the scrapping process? Great coverage of this salvage effort. I guess the only person who isn't a fan would bare his behind again if he got the chance.

    Once again a year after the fact - TWO years almost - I'm wondering why Cap didn't fly the drone THROUGH the decks - especially the very open spaces. Possibly the drone loses it's signal and would drop(?) I don't know, I haven't obtained a drone yet, but I'm SO interested in doing so. Anyway yeah, and I'm guessing Cap's really not a "car guy" so to speak because he doesn't seem to focus too much on the condition of the vehicles inside the wreck, which I would be doing! I'd be scanning for vehicles that didn't get submerged and are possibly still good (albeit title-branded)... Great work though, I'm thoroughly enjoying this. I wish I had come upon this at the time it was happening. Thanks for the belated entertainment 🙂

    Start on the top (port side) and start the blue scissors removing all extraneous parts that can foul equipment. Lift out each vehicle to preserve it for extensive documentation and recycling. Remove hull in sections as disassembly progresses downward to maintain structural integrity. All cutting will be done with aerial lifts and strong security nets for safety as debris will tumble. Cranes will be attached to every point possible prior to cutting to minimize uncontrolled movement. Final step is the engine after everything else is safely removed. It will be detached and lifted in one piece.
