Are there other boat graveyards like this, or is this one all that remains? Old hardware like these boats had so much "craft" in their construction.

Those anchors would look GREAT as props in a seafood restaurant, etc.

I worked for Tecumseh Metal products when they occupied part of the old Stusebaker plant. I remember parking near the big S on the foundry building.

The presses at that time were pumping out Ford Van parts and aluminum parts for the military Hum Vee.

I remember thinking when I would visit that plant that the hardwood block floors soaked in oil would really go up if they ever caught fire. I guess sadly I was right.

Nice to see some of the history of a once great Marque preserved.

Hey, great stuff here! i live in Wilkes-Barre/Kingston and I was never in the Sterling! They actually never demolished the entire building.. maybe half? A lot of people have used the fire escape to get in I hear? Thanks for the posts!

It looks like the state of new york did a half ass job of cleaning these buildings out when they closed. lots off dangorous stuff was left behind. someone could get injured. Also a care taker should have been hired to keep the maintence up on the buildings if that would have happened the buidings would not be in such poor condition know.

These buildings should all be inspected to see if any of them are salvagible. the ones that are fixable should be renovated the rest should be demolished. id love to go inside building 93 and explore it.

Wow, you can clearly see where there used to be a hall way and more building. That's so weird how they just bricked it off like that.
