That's also why the address of many locations aren't given.

I do understand your point. But Motts isn't implying that this is easy and safe...he has said on numerous occasions it is very dangerous.

But there are resigned to be some (ok, a lot) of idiots in this world without sense that would assume they could walk safely down a completley buckled hallway without any precautions.

I'm new here...I just "stumbled" onto this site, and shared it with friends, and co-workers...Greeat shot! It does look like that part was dropped, and embedded itself into the floor...with the tile all broken up around it, although there is a "curb" around it...almost looks accidental...Love those arches too!!

No, there are three windows at both ends of each ward to let light into the corridors; they are boarded up and reflecting light from behind the camera.

Thanks for that link Jerry! That is a real tragedy - a sad end for one of the queens of the Atlantic. Her sister ship the SS United States is apparently in slightly better condition (ie still afloat) but is also a derelict hulk - at Philadelpia I believe.

There's an interesting 'wreck' in North Wales, UK 'The Duke Of Lancaster' also marooned on a remote beach and facing an uncertain future. There are rumours that someone lives on board (the owner?) and more than one would-be explorer has been chased off the ship. It's a very surreal sight.
