Does anyone have a picture of this boat in operation? Or know where to find (look for) one?

FRANKn How about sharing the pics of scrapping The Orange?You could post the location of the pics here.Love to see them.It's heart-rending to see these former beauties in such pitiful condition but it's hauntingly beautiful too.Kinda like seeing a bad car wreck. You hate to see it but you can't look away.---Jason Schneider-if you really want to see this place then you can.I don't know how old you are but if you are of age there are many ways to travel in this country & some are free.often job & family restraints are a problem but where there's a will there's a way.Just do it! It will be a rewarding experience. I promise!

i had a number of family members that worked there and i know for a fact there were many very kind people working there and were compassionate toward the patients

BEAM ME UP SCOTTY! There's too many "expert" differing opinions on this planet!

I cannot believe that anyone could make jokes about any of the rooms or buildings! This place saw no love or happiness to the wars, they were like prisoners. And now it is a haunted attraction like some freak show. Wasn't it bad enough for the people when they were alive? Now for a fee you can go make fun of them when their dead. Tours should be to learn from our mistakes so that history does not repeat itself and to pay respect for those who suffered inside these buildings. I am interested in the paranormal but some places need to be left in peace.

that poor baby. I weep for God's creatures that are hurt and sad... I pray that no one hurt this poor thing and it was not tormented.. I weep as well as God for his creation........

It would seem like a nice place if it wasn't so harsh!

koonkap, I disagree. These are most certainly asphalt/asbestos floor tiles.

:opens chest: Cool! A slingshot!

As a collector of odd antiques, The postcards appear to be from mid to late 40's early 50's. The Gillette company used the same packaging from 1910 until 1958, so my guess is both the postcards and razor package are from the same time period.

Beautiful, natural decay. This is one of your best hallway shots. You can see how nature is transforming something man made. At this stage, it's easy to see what humans intended this space to be used for and at the same time you can see what Mother Nature has in mind for this space.

Beautiful bricks. I noticed a wheelchair ramp on the right side of the porch. I wonder if any of this is still here today.

Ahh, my mistake, of course they're like huge *inductances*, not capacitors, and consequently, it's not "RC-low pass" but "LR-low pass"... my bad.
An inductance generates a magnetic field and as long it's not established, current drops there which leads to the desired effect of blocking spikes, as an increase in current can only pass when the magnetic field is increased which takes more time than a "spike" should last. Once the field is established, no current is dropped at the inductance (save the voltage drop due to the wiring of the coils unwantedly acting as a resistor to some point).
And yes - stupid of me as well not to think of it - those coils are most definitely copper, and plenty of it ;-) ...would've been one of the first thing to be scrapped.

It looks like what we may be seeing here is a lack of a doorknob. I think it may just be the base, which is risen in the middle. Not sure either way, however.

I like how there seems to be an erased message from the past that looks like its coming out of the babies head... hehe
