That's right, they unbolted the outer wings and the fin and the tailcone. And I'm almost certain they also dropped the engines (because of the weight).
You may have to search a bit, but somewhere on the net there is a
huge photoalbum of the journey, interesting from beginning to end.
Oh, and I hope for you that nobody German reads this... it was not a 'canal', but the Rhine!
