It's the old Pride of Calais, just been beached in Turkey for scrapping. A great video clip, must be every mariners dream to 'be allowed' to do this to a ship!

Amazing pic, there much be 150 ships being scrapped.
Most well beyond even buffers skills to restore

Indeed. When I see the old buffers on here moaning about "'Elf & Safety" I remember those unfortunate enough not to be troubled by it - a little like those poor souls in the Victorian era who were broken, crushed, poisoned and destroyed in the name of efficiency and maximised profits...

Oh! happy times, brings a tear to my eye
Seriously, I think that the real scandal is the environmental impact. We ship (pardon the pun) our sh1t out to places to be broken in conditions that would never be allowed here. The pollution must be horrific

Looks like the video is no longer available.
This - from another forum - is said to be the view from the bridge. They had a quick look first!
"Beaching as seen from the bridge, took them two attempts
