These tunnels cannot have been used for transporting the deceased because they were not connected to the Whitman (Morgue) building. I would think they were used to either keep the patients out of the rain, or out of the snow in the winter. I've been in this tunnel several times, and it's particularly creepy because an ancient wheelchair has been left in it.
Does anyone know if contact information is available for Witte Marina regarding both USS PC 1217 and 1264. I would be interested in whether the marina would be interested in selling the better of both ships for the purpose of preservation / restoration. Any information would be greatly apprecitated. dodgewc63@yahoo.com
hello, i wonder if they will close the gates to the shipyard at 2883 richmond terrace, we feel vibrations under the ground, burning of ship oil and rubber and contamination of pesticides and oil dumping to my property. me and my very old mother are tired of the harassment and if they dont close there gates once and for all we will have no choice but to file charges, they are causing tractor trailers to go on our property harass us and damage the sewer line that belogns to the city on our sidewalk, and the house is over 150 years old and is a city land mark. i have lived here my whole life and iam a true native of staten island and these companyies across the street on mariners harbor waterfront are all illegally dumping parts, oil, and contaminating our land and air we breathe and even thought the are is idustrial it is very much residential as it is commercial with many people working across the street. if you feel staten island needs a change tell 2883 to stop harassing people and stop the chemials and all there pollutants in the air or sereve changes will occur.
