Astounding.

I can almost picture it in its prime. Stunning shot.

There's a small fishing boat/pleasure boat graveyard similar to this in Lake Eufaula where I sometimes go to explore old cabin cruisers. They're in much better condition than these, but I wouldn't mind checking out some of these boats' interiors either.

Where's the nameplate? I've never seen it.

I love shipwrecks. I absolutely must visit this place someday. What's the average water depth around there? I might try some underwater exploration.

I'd hate to try to salvage this dead lady o'the sea. Tetanus shot anyone?

Motts: Love your photography and the stories. Can you please help me locate a website which deals with a Colt's Neck Mansion, once saw it but cannot find it. Keep up the good work, rapatric@fccs.co.franklin.oh.us

speaking of eBay, the old maintenance basement is HUGE. There are two rooms full of old fans and electric motors in it. I went there yesterday and came across two old desk fans from the 20s and 30s. They are quite valuable, even if they're rusted to hell.

The floor above and below was disconnecting itself from the walls on both sides, making it dangerous.

Are you sure? Most of the building burned down in 1991...

Wow that's weird, I was just thinking of walking past Bellevue this weekend to check it out.

John - I chose most of the poses, although I wasn't all too sure on what to have her do exactly in some shots. Yes bringing a bow into here was most definitely a concern, and extra precautionary measures were taken to avoid problems, although the arrows did not have heads on them... that would be a very bad idea!

Does anyone know exactly why portions of the hallway have been cut out?

Ok, I couldn't help it, I HAD to come back to this one... I usually refrain from saying "This is my favorite from this set" because I'm invariably proven wrong when I see another one. This really is, however, my favorite from this set. It's the one that I see when I close my eyes after being here for a long time, even when I haven't been in this gallery. Thanks so much for the rockin gallery, and I'm glad you decided to try something different (not that I don't like the others, I just know how fun it is to try new things)...

i am doing my family tree and have found out this week my great grandfather died in whittingham mental hospital in jan 1929, i am quite upset by it because i cannot find out where he is buried at the moment as he lived in fleetwood and his family still lived there at the time of his death, my mum knew nothing about this and i am not sure my grandma did as she died when she was only 25 herself in 1943, i cannot rest until i know where he is buried as it is very upsetting as to how he went to whittingham, if he is buried there i am lead to believe the graves are all in bits, i would love to visit his grave wherever he is sometime and maybe go take look at the hospital too,anyone with any info i would love to hear from them, great site and ive read the comments too,
take care

ah!!! lol freaky
