pics look like an Iowa class bb and a ticonderoga class cruiser.

me and my friends went in side like 100 times i know the place like the back of my hand there is a tunnel that connects that buliding to the main hospital

notice the lead glass walls...this would have been used for portable x-ray equiptment..i've seen this in a couple other hospitals and sure that this may be the same purpose..the windows wud have been cheaper at that time than regular lead lined walls

I remember that kid, i think he called himself shadow or something, he was some kind of "it", we still don't know if it was a boy or a girl haha

I've been to several of these bbq's, always fun

Hey, motts, how did you get into these buildings? (if there have been over 100 arrests or whatnot)

Did you talk to the people that own the land and ask permission, or did you go comando and sneak in? just curios.

I notice a lot of places on your site from md, but I didnt notice the henryton sanitorium. I do this sort of thing a lot too.

Email me Mattshood@Hotmail.com and let me know.

Gorgeous photo's btw. If you get on aim, my instant messenger name is foursidedoctagon.

If you have a vessel's name or registry number then the place to start iss a publication called "Merchant Vessels of the Untied States". You'll have to go back into past year volumes, but you can look up by ship name and ID. Other places to look are various organiztion websites that might have other historians, such as tubboat enthusiasts, etc. Good luck in your search!

I'm a Naval Historian, with a particular interest in Mine Warfare vessels.

This ship was originally built by DeFoe Shipbuilding, Bay City, MI in 1921 for the U.S. Army and comissioned as the steel-hulled Junior Mine Planter (JMP) MAJOR ALBERT G. JENKINS. The vessel and crew were assigned to the Fourth Serivce Command during World War II and homeported at Fort Barrancas, Pensacola, FL . She was decomissioned in 1951 and sold to the Oil Transport Company, New Orleans, LA. Renamed BAYOU PLAQUEMINE [Coast Guard registery 261281], she was rebuilt as a tug. In September 1966 she was sold to the Nickerson Marine Towing Company of Tampa, FL, retaining her name. McAllister Brothers, Inc. of New York, NY purchased trhe vessel in June 1968, renaming her COURIER. She was scrapped in 1972.

Multipurpose over the years: storage room, infirmary, purgatorial office, community room.

St. Joseph's Altar

site of the library

Actually this was the senior classroom. The cabinets behind the classroom held all the textbooks that were used for instruction (bookstore).

Looks as though there's a blue sky over a pebble beach JUST outside the door.

Could be a sniper/guard post.
