In 2010, Peter Knego went to India to rescue artwork and fittings from the WINNER 5, the former Italian liner AUSONIA of 1957. Next to the ship Knego went to visit was the MONT, the partially demolished supertanker that was the longest and largest ship ever built. Knego shares some extremely rare footage he shot on the beach and from the decks of the WINNER 5 as he recaps this fascinating ship's history.

What a beast of a ship she was. Thank you for documenting her inevitable demise.

@midshipcinema 2 года назад

Thank you, Frank. She truly was a beast. :)

It should have been preserved as a museum ship. It is a one of a kind vessel and we aren't going to see anything of this size class ever. Very unfortunate to see it scrapped.

@midshipcinema Год назад

A shame to see the end of any type of ship, especially ones that broke records, etc. but it is the sad way of things. Merchant ships just don't seem to inspire the masses like planes, cars and trains.

@richardrichard508 2 месяца назад

Why?: its just a series of very large tanks the inside of which had corroded out, so had got to the end of its life like all tankers and steel ships. Just because it had a " measurement fascination", what was there to recommend it, hardly a thing of beauty?

Thank you, Peter. Yes, quite a different ship but fascinating, nonetheless. She dwarfed my little AUSONIA.

Some people say she should have been preserved as a museum, but i don't think any place out there could accomodate this beast...

@midshipcinema 11 месяцев назад

Small ships are almost impossible to properly maintain as a museum. I think people mean well but they don't realize the costs and labor it takes to preserve a ship, let along a giant one like this.

@ashegheaty Год назад

At 0:34 it states it took from 1974-1981 to build when actually it was completed in 1979. But still what a wonder of engineering to build such a mammoth ship

Mind blowing to think a ship that size in today's markets is fully paid off after its first voyage with millions going to very happy shareholders for years to come.

I wonder how much a shipbreaker would pay for a mid size cruise ship. Would it be worth one million $+?

@midshipcinema 2 года назад

There is no set price per ship. It is all about tonnage and what the steel market prices are at the time.

@JJMHigner 2 года назад

@@midshipcinema yes absolutely. It's all about the timing. A ship can lay up for years and the reason for that is to wait for the best optimum price. Ships are often the largest pieces of metal on the market to scrap and so timing is everything to make it worth the price of hauling it also.
