The Tugboat Graveyard

On the shores of Staten Island, old, derelict ships lay rusting and decaying, succumbing to the ravages of time and tide. It has been called the "Tug Boat Graveyard" - part salvage yard, part junk yard. Retired tug boats, ferries, fire boats and other vessels await their fate. Some are cut up by salvage crews, some simply rust away and sink into the water.
