To mark the two-year anniversary, the Associated Press reports, survivors and locals alike held mass in the local church that welcomed in survivors after the disaster.
The enormous, 60,000-ton ship has been a grim reminder of the tragedy for the past two years, and even a morbid tourism spot. The hope is that 2014 will be the year that the ship is gone - in September a grueling 16-hour "parbuckling" process moved the ship back into an upright system, and the current plan is to tow the boat away in summer for dismantling.
