Creator's Key Takeaways
In the two weeks since our last update on the demise of the Aurora, it appears that stripping the ship continues while the cutting still is not begun.
In this footage shot yesterday by Captain Corey Abelov, there's a large waste barge alongside the Lynn facility filled with debris.
Taken this morning, this shot by Frank Kliem shows the forward end of the ship still looking completely intact.
But for now at least, that lovely layer cake superstructure still stands proudly over her weathered hull.
