A rusty old bucket 2.....
I love the photos. I can't believe the old boat is afloat, but there is a bilge pump running in the last shot. It's hard to tell if it's being cut up for scrap, as the pilot house is in the water. Could you tell if it afloat? My guess it's just sitting on the bottom. If so, why don't they raise the anchor. Lot of easy iron there.
Thanks for posting these. That is a rare find!

It makes one wonder why the owners did not perform maintenance on the ship and keep it in service. A sad ending.

Great shots, especially the first. The dark Clouds adds to the mood of the photo.
I really like the first shot Jim. The others are sad, but nothing lasts forever.

I'm glad you got the image you did in 2016. It's really nice. Are vandals doing this, or are the owners scrapping her?
