In the Down East section of the NC coast north of Beaufort, evey small bay has at least one partially sunken shrimp trawler or fishing boat. Adds to the maritime ambiance.

then who rests within the Army Copse of Engineers?

[P.O.E.]

Only the heartless wouldn’t know that it was the Army Coeur of Engineers.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

They got dam(n) responsibility on the waterways...unless they copse out.

" Army Core of Engineers"

Actually, this is correct. I know this because I am a Kernel in the Mureen Corpse.

It appears that the Double D is aground on wetlands. ICBW, but my guess is that messin' with it will be a Federal crime.

[aumrl]

that's the trouble with private ownership of boats. all marine travelers should take federally sponsored ferries!

[NCjim]

I was wondering if that was Dolly’s boat?

[Roccus]

Heh-heh...that PROVES I’m gettin’ old!

My thought was, “Double Down”

[Constitution Day]

LOL!!

“All aboard!”

[Constitution Day]

What does the graffiti painted on the starboard side say?

It appears to read “OIL = SUICIDE” to me. Ugh.

[camle]

if yer the kernel (klink?) then mebbe it’s the corn of engineers?

[billhilly]

It looks like an opportunity for some enterprising souls.

One of my most memorable experiences was taking an old and rundown 32 foot sea skiff on the Chesapeake Bay and restoring it. It provided lots time with family and friends and a great deal of satisfaction. A year and a half of labor and some money later it was ready to enjoy on the water.

Charleston has the same problem, but they’re taking care of it. All this man needs to do is call City Hall in Charleston and find out how they’re getting it done.
