    Interesting. I have been on around 80 mothballed ships stored in the Suisun Naval Reserve Fleet out here in the Bay Area. I've been on all kinds of ships. A BB, a CA, AO's, AKA's, AS, AK's, AOR's, T-AKE's, AOE's, AE to name some. There were a few Victory Ships and one WWII oiler that would make this ship look downright clean. By the way it is a head and galley not a landlubber bathroom and kitchen.

    Very cool. Calumet River Fleeting also owns(and is looking to sell) this boat's sibling, the Mary E. Hannah. The boat is currently out of use, but very much functional and in great shape for her age. She is pretty similar looking inside, but not all dusty. I think she had the fortune of being repowered with a pair of 'modern' (perhaps i should say serviceable in 2024) EMD 567 powerplant when she got to the Lakes in the 70s. Something many of her siblings did not. Another one of her siblings is famously rotting away in the old boat graveyard in Staten Island New York. She is the biggest and most intact thing there, and is in much worse shape than the Kristin.

    • @alexplore92
