Knock Nevis / Mont

[Milind Balaji]

As many of you know, the famous " KNOCK NEVIS" is now being broken up at Alang in India. A fantastic vessel that survived multiple obstacles including being bombed, sunk, global oil pressures and age.
The only picture I have been able to find of her at Alang is this this one -

Does anyone know of any others or have access to any more information about her at the breakers or her final journey? Seems rather odd that the worlds largest vessel and an engineering and maritime icon is just fading away unnoticed.

Any info would be appreciated

Hi all

There are some new pics of the vessel being broken up at Alang on the excellent website ... http://www.midshipcentury.com/  

Work is well in hand now. The breakers have reached the mid section.
