September 15, 2013 - Giglio, Italy: The wreck of Italy's Costa Concordia cruise ship near the harbour of Giglio Porto. Salvage workers will attempt to raise the cruise ship on September 16, 2013, weather permitting, in the largest and most expensive maritime salvage operation in history, so-called 'parbuckling', to rotated the ship by a series of cables and hydraulic machines. Thirty-two people died when the ship, with 4,200 passengers onboard, hit rocks and ran aground off the island of Giglio on January 2012. (Manuel Silvestri/Polaris)
