Passage 1
For 20 months the wrecked Costa Concordia has been lying on its side near the coast of Giglio,a small Italian island. But on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage(打捞)operation ever conducted,the large ship was finally moved to the upright position. The next step is for the vessel to be removed from the area entirely.
