It's amazing that the bow has rusted completely through so that you can see right inside the ship. This one must have been built with very poor steel -- possibly a wartime rush job.

Well, Parker, you could fly to New York, rent a kayak, find out where the heck this place is, load up your digital camera with lots and lots of batteries and storage, and knock yourself out, now couldn't you?

Boy, a great photo. I stand in awe in that once these ships were the pride of the fleet with everyone gazing upon them.

what's the length/breadth of this ship? It bears a vague family resemblance to WW2 liberty ships.

Hass the appearance of some type of warship..given the bullring on the bow...the formal standing jack staff..and the Fairleads further along the focs'le.
Magnificent photo. Its really can be any ship we want it to be.

My father served on PC 1217 during ww 2. He would be sad to see it in such poor condition.

If youy want to see sub chasers today look at the Circle Line boats in New York Harbor, some of them are Ex Navy sub chasers. You can even ride on one if you want.
