Here is a photo I took of the Bloxom through the weeds a few years ago.

I own the PRR sign that came off the stack of the Bloxom. It so sad to see here slowly sinking away. Here is a link to a picture of the sign.

It looks bigger from afar. When I first passed it by while on a jog, I thought it was an old Naval Freighter.
I am looking to film a scene of my independent movie on a ship like that, however I have grave misgivings about setting foot on that boat. Would the deck be secure enough to stand or walk on?

There are two photographs of Bloxom in “Ghostly Ruins: America’s Forgotten Architecture” (2006) by Harry Skrdla (pg 34 and pg 37). One is of Bloxom much as she’s sadly depicted above. The other, however, is of her under way during her days with the Pennsylvania RR.

without knowing the specifics on this vessel’s demise, it seems 1944 is not that old. given the amount of taxpayers’ $ involved, why would such a vessel be allowed to disintegrate on a mudbank? if anyone KNOWS the specifics on this vessel, i’d love to hear. how much was scavenged before it was “mothballed”?

I had NO Idea it was an ARMY tug; interesting to me is the fact that my eye was drawn to a military tug when I myself captained a Navy YTB from 97′-99′.

When I first saw that tug in the Kill, I was knocked over. Someone would let something that powerful rot? Gobsmacked. I’ll look around and see what I can find on her.
