I bet they used a cable saw.
Stretch a cable across the thing and start pulling it back and forth.

That's how they did the Russian submarine Kursk.

That must take a while! Thanks Chuck.

Indeed, they used a cable saw. They cut the boat while it was at the bottom of the sea. The cable was between two other boats.
That way they were able to lift the parts. It was an impressive operation !

Actually when I was little, my parents lost a rather large fleet of fresh Mercs that were destined for Taiwan. The ship hit rocks and some containers managed to slip into the see....which happended to be my parents and uncles containers full of fully optioned Mercedes... Yang Ming Line it was (the ship), if I remember correctly. Cost a stack of money for my Parents and uncle...

Oh and yeah... the Tricolour. BMW and Volvos...
