Seems I do this alot.
nau-sea. No doubt this is an ATR. How do you identify it as ATR-4? Your link had pictures for sure but how do you distinguish it fromanyother vessel of the time? Thanks.

Hey tony g,
Can you fill in any holes in this boats past? Must be sad to see it in such condition. I for one would like to know how you came to ride on her?

Thank you Matt!
Know anything about the rest we see here?
I am willing to do the work if you could point the way. Itried to go the registry route but my search w/ both coast guard and merchant marine wasn't helpful. All I have really found out in the name of the salvage site. A phone call to those folks was not helpful.

YO Matt!
How do you know all this? It is Fantastic that you could fill in so much unknown!!! Thanks.

Hey Jeffery, How did you Know this was the "Beacon"? You are sure this is the Becacon, right? Any idea where we might read up on this particular ferry boat?

Strange, this ferry was decommisioned around 1964. There is talk of resurecting Ferry service along the Beacon Ferry - Newburgh line.

Abrams S. Hewitt had a sister ship, The George B. McClellan that fared no better and was removed from service 17 sept.1953 and disposed of 1954. Wonder if one of those "ships in a row" might be the Geo.B?

Yeah, the ick is going into the water but no/one is being blamed here. If you actually did something i.e. remove the hulks offshore you are deemed a "cause".

Who do these hulks belong to. Why is there no urgentcy to process them?
