The refloated wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship is being dragged to the harbor of Pra di Voltri near Genoa on July 27, 2014. Italy’s doomed cruise ship Costa Concordia left its wreckage site on July 23, 2014 in one of the largest-ever maritime salvage operations, two and a half years after the disaster left 32 people dead. The ship is being dragged away from the Mediterranean Giglio island to a scrap yard in the northern Italian port of Genoa. AFP PHOTO / MARCO BERTORELLO
