This almost looks like a pier that has deteriorated or what was left after a hurricane storm.

These ferry pictures really freak me out. I can just imagine the activity there by looking at the pictures.

This was one of the Beacon, Newburgh ferrys, before that it was a ferry between Boston and East Boston, or perhaps South Boston. I think it was the Lieutenant Flarity or something like that then became the Beacon before becoming a Witte resident. Yes it was a steam boat!

I think this is the Beacon from the Beacon Newburgh NY run. Before that it was the Lt. Flaherty or some similar name from the Boston East Boston run. It is a steam boat.

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

it is amazing that you know that information about some of the boats in the graveyard. you make it sound like you were on some of them. it looks like the boat used to be a nice boat. you know your history. i am impressed. I do not know anything about the boats. i just think the boats look cool. what business did the boats belong to? and how many years have the boats been siting there like that? I would like to explore some of the boats someday but I do not think that will ever happen but i hope that someday i can explore some of the boats that are safe to explore.

I do a lot of kayaking, and the thought of straying anywhere near that is blindingly pertifying. Great job, Motts!!
