Costa Concordia and its refloating (The Parbuckle Project)

I thought it must be a made-up word, but no (The Free Dictionary): par·buck·le (pärbkl) n. 1. A rope sling for rolling cylindrical objects up or down an inclined plane. 2. A sling for raising or lowering an object vertically. tr.v. par·buck·led, par·buck·ling, par·buck·les To raise or lower with such a sling. The Parbuckling Project is a consortium of engineering talent with a truly vast (and challenging) task: remove the sunken Costa Concordia safely and cleanly. I had a look and marvel at the ingenuity. Now let’s hope it works. Related posts: Turnaround – Think Fast Engineering | Think Fast Engineering My brother, the Aerospace Genius, has gotten back into racing....
