Ever wondered how they beach old ferries for dismantling?

When we think of demolition we tend to concentrate on buildings and other land-bound structures. But sea-fairing vessels also eventually need to be demolished/dismantled at the end of their life. And this isn't an operation carried out in the water. Somehow the ships need to be transferred to dry land.

So how exactly do they manage that feat? The video above shows you exactly how it's done, and I'm sure quite a few of our readers now want the job of beaching ferries. It looks like a lot of fun.
