Manhattan Transfer caught my eye ...Kay - Thank you. Manhattan Transfer caught my eye for the name as well. MO JO is a huge boat with a strong name. But it is so weak now in this graveyard. <br /><br /><br />John, if we look at these as boats that must go back in the water, the only outcome is bad. Can't happen. If we view them as pieces of art that can be deconstructed, there is so much here. Infinite potential. Bravo.<br /><br />LLC, the Divers boat is just precious! (I have a few more shots that give even more perspective.)<br />Seems to be waiting for a Hollywood producer to come calling. <br /><br />Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-60914732907957776082013-12-03T22:46:13.245-05:002013-12-03T22:46:13.245-05:00Kudos that you can upload photos and write coheren...Kudos that you can upload photos and write coherent sentences after the loong day you had !<br />I love those old boats..I was going to name the little red & white speedboat my favorite, until I saw the blue "Divers" one below it ! It has stolen my heart...I can almost envision Olive Oyl, in her lanky 30's fashions and her captain Popeye shoving off in it! <br />LLC<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-81909916129447284832013-12-03T14:15:07.980-05:002013-12-03T14:15:07.980-05:00Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I'd enjoy checking out the old boats and maybe the owner would let me salvage a few parts and pieces. <br /><br />I think Crown Two's helm is made of teak and it looks to be in decent shape. A little sanding and polishing and it might make a good addition to the bar.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-62699087268445541762013-12-03T14:08:43.845-05:002013-12-03T14:08:43.845-05:00I love old boats.

My favorite here is Manhattan Transfer, because of the singing group, which I remember from its first incarnation in the late 60s.<br />But the old printer in me must take exception to the poor dead boat named MO JO because its owners had the temerity to use script caps, which is a terrible typographical no-no.<br />Sounds like you and the kids are keeping busy. Good for them for (a) being involved (b) attending a winning school and (c) having a helpful mother who is willing to drive long distances.<br />Hi to all, hugs to your mom,<br />Luv, KKay L.
