Sinking

The way the railings trailed into the water were pretty cool...

if you walk just to the left of the main entrance you will find acres of ship fittings lined up and waiting for sale around the world. all of the anchores / fitting are huge and breathtakeing. all the fittings are from the beaced vessels.check it out.

a few years ago my son jamie friend zero took us their to see the ships. his boat had a special tv that enabled you to see under the water. i saw many ships that where sunk under the water to make room for the ones on top. so now they cannot touch these ships as not to upset the ecology of the water and the fish ands creatures under the water. gail

That large rounded shape under the bridge is the steam engine boiler, it's so huge compared to the rest of this little tugboat.

Maybe not. The water can get in where the propeller shaft goes through the hull when maintainence stops...

Definitely a huge boiler under the main structure. Wonder if the huge steam piston engine is still down there somewhere?

as i am around boats alot and rely on them for my own safety, there is something distinctly unnerving about seeing them half submerged and in any state of disrepair. amazing pictures, wish i could come with you on a photo shoot!

It looks like the part of the deck that is still above the water is safe enough to walk on. I also wounder what the inside of the bridge looks like. The bridge still looks safe enough explore.
