@@thetessellater9163 Yes, it can and did elicit a twinge of sadness when I saw it being towed to its final destination. Over here in the human world, we have not yet managed to edit anthropomorphism from our code. And those of us who fritter away many hours consuming literature, poetry or cinema are prone to seeing metaphors in a myriad of objects. But it requires little if any such exposure to see the ship and imagine oneself being escorted into that good night at the end of our life's journey. Finally, as "tools" go, few have traveled the globe carrying not just cargo, but countless crew members who did a little living while on board -- missing home and family, sharing laughs, worrying, dreaming in their sleep or daydreaming while awake, wondering what the future holds -- and in doing so maybe the vessel became imbued with a little of their spirit, setting it quite apart from, say, a chainsaw.

​@@thetessellater9163 I bet you are not of nautical blood... It is sad. I own a 40 year boat with the original diesel engine. Her model is the smallest hull to cross the Atlantic at 26 feet. When I fire her up for the first time of the season, she awakens, and in the winter she sleeps. She has a soul. Sometimes she is happy and sometimes angry. She takes offense to rough seas and also loves skimming across mirrored skies. The ship is alive, unless the owner is not. Definite life span, I think not.

This should be the new standard of ship recycling. Far better for safety and the environment and it sets a great example. I hope one day that it becomes international maritime law and international land laws on ship recycling. Our governments should take notice and the cruise industry too as well as other ship owners and brokers.

Lock Kishorn was where a lot of big oil rigs were built but out of concrete. I used to run preformed and assembled Copper nickel pipework up there. It was like a huge village built out of portakabins! As they poured the concrete the steel fixers were working like 20 feet above as they had to pour 24 / 7. If anyone fell in they stayed there. As they got bigger the were floated further and further out. When it was all over they restored the lock side to its former glory. Like they were never there. brilliant engineering. On this I am surprised they didn't work a way of positioning the ship so the tipper wagons didn't tip straight into the ship's hold. Maybe we can scrap Navy ships here now rather than sending them to Turkey.

@Hrodn

If you tipped straight into the hold all the weight would be on one side. You would still have ensure the ship remained stable and the hull wasn't stressed so a means of trimming the hold would still be needed.. The way it's done presently will be the most efficient for the location.
