Block 642, known as the pointy bit to us cruising types, oh OK then, the bow, was lowered into place on Norwegian Cruise Line's new ship Norwegian Epic yesterday.
It took 100 workers at the STX Europe shipyard in St Nazaire, France, about two hours to get the block, weighing 445 tons and measuring 85 feet long by 108 feet wide and 30 feet high, into place. Here's the speeded-up version.
