This reply is for MARGIE from03 05 2007 The boat in the picture is the BEACON NEWBERG FERRY DUTCHESS Please read above comment by me. Thanks

this boat is theDUTCHESS I scraped the ORANGE in black tom Jersey City in late 1970s these boats were steam powered Beautyful boats. After removing the upper decks and engines &boilers & over hanging side decks and all remainging wood The rest of the main deck and hull were steel in good shape. I than put the boat up for sale as a barge. I also removed the two six foot propellers. I ALSO locked the two rudders in place. After a few years i finaly scrapped the boat. I have many pictures of the boat being scrapped. I hated to scrap the poor boat
