Here was 55.
Glenn Raymo took this photo in Germantown yesterday, the all-new Sarah D; previously I used these photos by Glenn. Check out an example of one of many of his zazzle products here.
Sarah D until very recently was Helen D. Coppedge. Almost all these photos were taken by other people, but I add the next two I took in 2010 for comparison purposes.
Also, new–as in out-of-the-shipyard new . . . it’s Barry Silverton, with the Fight ALS barge. Click here for the story of the names. Many thanks to Allen Baker–click here for previous photos he’s shared– for this photo and to
Ted Bishop for the photo below.
This photo comes thanks to Renee Lutz Stanley. It’s Lyman–I think–looking insignificant in one of the huge graving docks at the Brooklyn Navy yard. Click here for previous photos by Renee. Anyone know which dock this is?
With news of a wooden boat found under a house during a construction project in Highlands NJ still –well news– what you see below are photos of another wooden vessel found during a construction project in Boston. Many thanks to Tom Mann for these photos. Here are previous photos from Tom.
As soon as imaging is complete, it will be removed.
Archeologists at the site believe it was a 19th century vessel delivering lime.
Many thanks to Tom, Renee, Ted, Allen, and Glenn for photos used here.

All this business of finding historical artifacts are proof that companies are not doing their due diligence while doing their environmental planning, which is particularly important in Historically Sensitive Areas.
Ground Penetrating Radar [GPR] would have easily located the mass of semi petrified wood before the archeological information was disrupted by pile driving I beams thru it.

You’d think. I’d love to hear the perspective of someone in the excavation/building trades on the use of GPR.

Yup, but they don’t care! With small exception they are all get in quick, grab the money and run.
Even many Public jobs are run that way.
It will be really interesting to read what the USCG says about obstructing the river channel at the Tappan Zee Project sight after the recent accident. I don’t envy those poor sailors families trying to collect damages from those thieves.
The men who were killed in Camden 25 years ago when the Dole ship crushed the Turecamo TV against the stone quay just did collect, in 2009, 10, 11, & 12 in four payments that after collection expenses, will limit the liability to about 0.40 cents on a dollar. Still, something is better than nothing.
