Jason-If you look at the next pic you will see that the old wooden deck is DEFINITELY NOT safe to walk on. It is very rotten. Even a steel one would be so corroded after many years of contact with sea water that it would not be safe to walk on.you might go 20-30 ft then suddenly plunge through a more severely corroded spot.If you ever get around one of these old hulks be extremely cautious because they are extremely dangerous & a drop through a deck on some ships can mean a fall of 20-30ft or more to a lower steel deck.Although in this case you would probably just get wet there could be cables,wires,etc to tangle you up.

Does anyone have a picture of this boat in operation? Or know where to find (look for) one?

FRANKn How about sharing the pics of scrapping The Orange?You could post the location of the pics here.Love to see them.It's heart-rending to see these former beauties in such pitiful condition but it's hauntingly beautiful too.Kinda like seeing a bad car wreck. You hate to see it but you can't look away.---Jason Schneider-if you really want to see this place then you can.I don't know how old you are but if you are of age there are many ways to travel in this country & some are free.often job & family restraints are a problem but where there's a will there's a way.Just do it! It will be a rewarding experience. I promise!
