Uh ho...Busted

Well...someone must have been busy reading books today!

That's a neat fireplace decoration!

A nice variety of colors

This room looks like it's perfectly intact.

This room needs a good coat of paint....seriously,
it does!

That second door goes to a fenced in porch.

As someone who's been to this site I can tell you, even on a sunny day, it's scary and often dark under the shadows of these beasts. There is creeking and echoes inside the ships and the constant sound of water hitting the sides of the vessels and washing up on shore. Mott's style fits these subjects well.

I think these are in a scrapyard. With the far east getting into the steel business and the cost of oil going up, it's not worth the energy it would take to melt these into usable steel again. I believe this is a place off of Arthur Kill Rd, Staten Island called "Wiite Marine". Nearby are two gargantuan LNG tanks rotting away as well. An interesting place to visit. Thank you for the photos.

This is in one of the most polluted waterways in the world. The bottom is probably a muddy muck of PCB's, oil spill residue, and unprocessed sewerage. Remember, Staten Island only recently got hooked up with public sewers. For quite a while the south shore was dumping untreated waste into the Arthur Kill. yum yum...

I think this stuff is outside of a scrap metal place on arthur Kill Rd. ?Witte marine. My friend and I snuck in there once and went on a half sunken ship. It was scary as hell. I remember walking into a room with wooden floors and looking toward the bow as the floor sunk into the depths. It was indoors yet in the sea at the same time. Very spooky.

The only reason that abandoned houses, hospitals and hotels are torn down is because city officials and cops are so afraid that people will go in there either to just explore, loiter out of boredome, or do drugs, get hurt and sue the town for their injuries. Thats the only reason

I've always wondered what type of "surgury" the performed in these rooms.

Yeah I agree. It's cool how the sky turns to night as you move right
