must of taken some courage to go inside of the boat considering the condition some of the boats are in.

Looks like most of the ship is still above water . the deck still looks safe enough to walk on.

I can see why they are called twins they look almost exactly alike.

Looks like it used to be a nice boat.

Looks really cool. With what it looks like I am surprised that it is still standing right now.

Yeah, that was probably the Holder. She was an Edsall class DE (DE-401) that caught a torpedo from a german plane in 1944. They transplanted her stern to the USS Menges (DE-320) and sold the bow to Witte in 1947. I was just curious because I saw her in some old undated aerial photos of the yard. Thanks, Jim!

i think these old ships are totally amazing it makes you wonder what where the people going through and what it would be like to go on a ship like that it would be my dream to go aboard the titanic or even just be close and see it for myself
