That happened just before Chrissy a couple of years ago. The boat is (was) the Tricolor and it was hit by another boat

About 2/3 down the page you can see a picture of the tungsten wire saw (cable with grooves on it) that was used to cut up the ship for salvage. This was the 1st time that this technique has been used. A single cut took around 14 hours, cut hrough the superstructure like butter.
