    Two things. The boat named Seahorse is a Seascout boat. I'm a leader on it.
    Also, Meow Man is a maritime legend. Look up the name. Famous from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.
    That tag is all over.

    Terrific video! It is amazing to see such wildlife in a an industrial area like this. It looks like that flotilla is not directly accessible from land. And that sunken ship looks like a ferry. I've explored the Rossville Cemetery what I can see of the ship graveyard across the Kill on the Staten Island side. It is incredible how many piers there used to be. Now they all look like hazards to navigation.

    I know this is an older Video, but I work for a Structural Steel fabricator in NJ, and we are currently tasked with building a new Pavilion on the Pier in Carteret. The building I'm drafting looks like it's a covered outdoor place to eat and sit. There is development happening in the waterways out there.

    Cool video, I’m glad UA-cam suggested it to me. I’ve done some work for Conrail in that yard but never got the chance to make it back there to look around. I work near the site of the Pier 18 coal dock in Port Richmond, part of which just collapsed into the Delaware river, and I’ve always been obsessed with the ancient technology.

      I moved to west nj but I used to live in lyndhurst and go on the marsh walks all the time. It was minutes from my house and a must for me to have that nature escape living in what I call a war zone. Lol.

    Hey I'm famous, happy that tip worked out for you. I spent a summer in a fire resistant jumpsuit, fall protection harness and a life preserver running heat trace on the docks for kinder Morgan. Trying to stay out of that water. What a cool video. What happened to the news? Look at photos from the 20s of newspapers, how big the papers were. The cost of paper went up. When the space changed the editors changed the way the news was reported. Stories had less context. TV news less context. Cable 24 hour news cycle even less. Nj had hundreds of Newspapers, independently owned local news, they were bought by conglomerates Singleton, Gannet, Goodson. Home news, daily record Asbury Park press, one owner. Now the government sidesteps the free press that was already gutted. Police department and town Facebook pages. In America the Government is now the press. It's propaganda. The old format was , news, when, where, who, A opinion page clearly marked, a Editorial page clearly marked. Unchecked capitalism destroyed the free press. Fear sells soap, fear makes people crave politics that make them feel safe. People with no understanding of basic civics destroyed the free press.
    Hey you asked . Lol. The above was an opinion and not necessarily the opinion of the publisher of this video.

    Since nobody has mentioned it, the large barges were owned by Bouchard Transportation. A Bouchard unit had an explosion and two men were killed in Texas. The lawyers had their day and the company no longer exists. One of the boats looks like an old Coast Guard 82 foot cutter.

Took a triangle slice off the top of his head. Had to go to the ER for it. This was during COVID so it was not fun at all haha. Hes doing good now though, I bought him a hat to wear after that.
