thanks

I wonder how much you could sell this for.......*hint hint*

too small for that, look at the relative size of the dials/switches. Looks like an old ASW-style sonar

thank you, fb jim. Somehow, knowing their names and some of their history just makes these ships seem......different, somehow.

er...that's "picture ', not "picrue". Sorry for the double comment.

weird.....it looks a lot like she's broken about midway back. Must be the angle of the picrue.

Looks like a near-shore naval vessel of some sort to me.

the two ships are drawing comfort from each other in their long seclusion. Better to be dying with a friend than stuck alone in some museum.

It's nice to remember this old girl. She was mighty proud and pretty when she sailed. She had a long life, too. Still, it's sad that she's just sitting there, rotting away.......

I'd hate to see my boat end up like this. Extremely sad, but a good shot nonetheless.

The wonder and enjoyment of these photos comes from imagining (and sometimes researching) the vibrant history of these vessels, which these photos capture so eloquently, so perfectly, I can picture myself standing on their decks when they sailed.

She looks kinda like she ends abruptly further aft. Was she broken in two?

this is definitely not the USS Dispatch, the bow is the wrong style. It doesn't look like a pleasure yacht either. Very nice shot. I wish I knew what it was a shot of.....

what's the length/breadth of this ship? It bears a vague family resemblance to WW2 liberty ships.

Astounding.
