Although this boat might seem finished to most,
I see,and feel the spirit of this vessel.It is alive with
excitement of life of long ago and it is this life of long ago that gives this boat life today.Just be still,look,and listen.

I thought it was just me who got the creeps from forlorn wrecks and especially "what lies beneath", but it seems others do too - a primal instinct? This shot is especially unnerving...like I'm going down with the boat! These shots are absolutely fantastic...thank you for sharing them with us.

It's saddening to imagine how al the people who once were there, with hopes and dreams, who could see and think and breathe are now all probably long gone, and this rotting listless ship is left as the last decaying link between them. :(

I'll bet this was one of the Fireboats at the S.I. Ferry Terminal fire in 1946. What a way to end your days.
