Thanks Jacob.

This story even made it to the network news headlines here in little old New Zealand. Mind you many might say thats coz not much happens down here. LOL

This is story you have provided is much more in depth and very interesting than the brief item on television here.

Regards

Well, she's still stuck in the mud.
Funny, I was going to head east on Monday morning to snap some photos of the move from Weehawken, but something came up and I had to head west to PA for the day. Glad I went west, would have ticked me off doing a 50 mile drive to just see her move a few feet. The strange thing is when I was volunteering on her years ago, we were told they removed hers screws before she was towed up river, and tied her up.
Sitting in 18 foot of mud, that's more than have her draft, and they wonder why she's stuck.
:-) Maybe they should have dredged a little deeper, and wider.
