I used to purchase vessel parts from the Wittes during the 1970s and 80s. What started as a scrap yard has become Don Jon Marine – one of the largest salvage operations in the US. Many years ago they bought the largest metal shear in the world and mounted it on a barge with the idea of chewing their way through the wrecks but that didn’t work out financially. Due to enviro issues and the like the scrap yard is to my understanding not really active and a minor part of the Witte operation. My favorite boat in the morass of vessels was the tug, Hound of the Baskervilles. Just think it is a great name for a tug.

Beautiful pictures, but very sad. Wow I never thought that things were just left to rot like that in the NY?
