Here she is...what's left of her, anyway...where ships come to die. And I had a ridiculous amount of luck to be given a private tour of Chittagong ship breaking yards.

Patalavaca - Breaking of Bulkers are being done in the same manner as you've seen in the Picture ..... its look Interesting but very difficult to make Gap in the Hatches of Cargo Hold ...

Thanks, Rick!

Cradle to the grave, how appropriate...

I have seen the cradle of this giant, the dry docks of MHI in Nagasaki, and now I am at the place where she is getting chopped to pieces...as one ship breaker told me, "building must be so much cleaner than breaking, no?"...

Enjoy your trip Vlad, what an experience...from ship's cradle in Koje, to the grave in Chittagong.
This is the first time I have seen a bulker dismantled like this. A unique shot.
Regards, Rick
