This place must have been fantastic in it's day--because it is truely beautiful now!!!! I hope they are successful in the reopening attempts--this is a place where you use your imagenation not just take a ride!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Motts. what kind of ship was this?

The way the rail runs to the back there across the wall and is shaped at the end in a bit of a point brings the shape of a coffin to mind....very creepy.

I never heard of a boat graveyard! I heard of an airplane graveyard....

When are they going to tare it down?

If you look at Goddog's map, found here: http://theduke81.tripod.com/id9.html
It's the building labeled "X": on the second map from the top. Building N-10, the Tuberculosis Hospital Ward, the furthest back of the "new" buildings. It's on the ground floor way in the back near the shipping area. You'll see literally hundreds of little white plastic caps before you start seeing the bustedmbrown botles. You can't miss it if you explore the entire ground floor of N-10.

If it's foggy and you want to go Motts, I'll drive and buy beer, lunch, and rent the fucking kayak!

Completely fucking incredible. I'm stunned dude.

KAYAK!!!
Did you rent it, or was it "lent" or "borrowed"?
If you say "rented" I'm going to do some back-flips!

This one's in fantastic shape. I'd be walking those decks in a heartbeat were I here.

Those anchors friggin' ROCK!

Love that fire-hose reel.

My Dad used to pilot the fire-boat here in Philly, downtown under the Ben Franklin Bridge.(Delaware River). I remember taking rides on it. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my youth.

I can picture me sitting on the rim of the steering house waving.
