WATCH: Time-Lapse Video Shows Costa Concordia Pulled Upright [VIDEO]

The salvage operation of the wrecked cruise liner, Costa Concordia was initially set to take between 10 and 12 hours.

By the early hours of this morning, the operation had stretched to 19 hours before the vessel was finally righted by South African salvage master, Nick Sloane and his crew.

The wreck will spend several months resting in an upright position, resting on buoyant underwater platforms. After the time period has passed, the ship will be towed to port and broken in to pieces.

Sloane and his crew righted the ship by threading cables and pulley systems around the ship, and slowly inching it off the rocks, tilting it 65 degrees.

Authorities believe the Concordia is the largest capsized cruise ship to ever be rotated with the “parbuckling” pulley system.
