Traction engine

I bet there is treasure inside the hold

Great work bro

What's so ridiculous is the pollution in this area, it is so bad there are signs stating to not eat anything caught in the waters. You see oil slicks on the water and just a smell that is reprehensible, the "mud" is nothing but oil-laden sticky muck. So where are all these environmental activists protesting this? Where is the state doing its part to keep the waters clean? NY/NJ, the politicians are just a bunch of hypocrites along with the EPA.

no it's a tractor

Do they have a lot of pulling power?

Is this in Carthage, NC aka eddersville? I was at that show as well.

No, this is a steam-powered farm tractor from around the early 1900s.

No, they were originally made as steam tractors. Some may be repurposed but I’ve never seen one that was from an old train. They’re really cool and some sound better than others. A Baker steam tractor sounds the best to me…

With how big that fireplace is i wouldn't mind spending a night there but it'd be scary af i bet especially at dark

Awesome ✌️

What are the coordinates

❤ très belle machine 😍😍

Buy a light.

Looks like what five year old me would design

Wow

All that pollution just to go up a fucking hill. Humans need to fucking die already

Carbon emissions goes so hard

Sure would be great if it could be rebuilt!!

P r o m o s m 🙏

So *that's* why it's called a steam roller

Lads, we've found George

I'm NOT drinking that one, at least after tapping it for a while. 😅

That bird thinks it’s just as cool as we do 😊

Joe's first car -

Thing still is a masterpiece

Wow!

That is so beautiful

Just got back from Saranac lake. First time in Adirondacks and all I have to say is wow! It’s breathtaking.

Almost 100yrs old m still purrs like a chicken 🐔 😅...that thing is sweet

The New England passenger vessel of 1928 in the film is the New "Bedford," which operated around Nantucket Island and Martha's Vineyard for the Eastern Steamship Company. In World War II, she sailed across the Atlantic in a convoy of similar ships that did battle with German U-boats and survived to reach the U.K. She was used as a hospital ship and was involved in evacuating wounded personnel from Omaha Beach during the Normandy Invasion. She returned to the U.S. after the war and ran as an excursion boat until abandoned in the Arthur Kill.

@3:54 you can barely see the semi-circular roof and other remains of the 1910 PRR steam tug Chester (PRR #11) next to barge at the right edge of this frame. The 1900 PRR steam tug Wilmington is at lower right, the remains of the 1916 PRR steam tug Olean (PRR #12) are in between.

@6:21 as near as I can tell, this is the area where the steam American Legion was, with the steam ferry Rockaway on one side and two more ATRs on the other side. The American Legion was gutted by fire in 1977 and several vessels around it burned as well. The fire was supposedly started on July 4th, when people in pleasure boats, celebrating the 4th of July shot fireworks into some of the wooden boats. The fire burned pretty well across the yard and took three days to put out. There were wooden barges filled with steam gauges, steam pumps ("hundreds of them"), fire extinguishers, and other machinery. When they were burned in the fire, their contents fell into the brackish water of the Hudson River and sank into the mud, most of it never to be recovered. The paths between the hulks were gone as well; making their salvage all the more difficult.

My comments were all over the place because it took me some time to get myself oriented, the yard continues to change from year to year as the vessels continue to fall apart or disappear. I have aerial photographs taken by others for each of the time periods below. Witte Marine Equipment Yard - 1960s until the fire in 1977 It was during this time that the yard reached it’s greatest extent, as entire fleets of ferries, tugboats, carfloats and barges were retired in the 1960s. Witte was ordered by the Coast Guard to get rid of some of the vessels, as they were encroaching on the main channel. Some were scrapped; while others were towed and beached at a spot further south on the other side of the tank farm; where they remain today. Witte Marine Equipment Yard - post-fire 1977 to the mid 1980s The hulks remaining in the yard began their slow decline after a fire in 1977, which gutted the ferry AMERICAN LEGION and scorched several of the surrounding vessels. The fire was supposedly started on July 4th, when people in pleasure boats, celebrating the 4th of July shot fireworks into some of the wooden boats. The fire burned pretty well across the yard and took three days to put out. There were wooden barges filled with steam gauges, steam pumps ("hundreds of them"), fire extinguishers, and other machinery. When they were burned in the fire, their contents fell into the brackish water of the Hudson River and sank into the mud, most of it never to be recovered. The paths between the hulks were gone as well; making their salvage all the more difficult. Witte Equipment Marine Yard - mid 1980s to the mid 1990s The hulks in the yard continued their slow decline during this time. Mr. Witte passes away; the new owners scrapped the vessels that were still afloat, including the ferries JAMESTOWN and LACKAWANNA, while others such as the carfloat 618 sank during this time. Much of the equipment in yard has been here for 20 years, as long as it’s operational life! Much of the Shaun O’Boyle and Barry Masterson photo collections (no longer available on the web, may have been captured by the Internet Archive, but not sure) were taken during this time frame. They show that steam machinery can still be found aboard several of the vessels, and Scotch-type boilers and other machinery was strewn about the yard. Witte Marine Equipment Yard - mid 1990s The slow decline of the hulks in yard continues. More vessels disappear, while others continue to collapse and sink into the muck. The huge steam derrick next to the LEIF VIKING, which dominated the west end of yard, would be razed to it’s wooden raft, while the large derrick between the stern of the NEW BEDFORD and unknown tug in the east end of the yard was razed as well. By this time, the yard has become a marine sanctuary; guaranteeing they will be there for some time to come.

@6:10 the name of the smashed tugboat above the bow of the 1921 steam ferry Beacon is unknown. Above and behind it are the remains of the tugboats Garden City and Dewey.

@6:05 notice the tops of the boilers and the tops of the compound steam engines sticking up out of the three tugs on the right. From right bottom upwards, they are the Sachem, an unknown tug, tug Pentucket, Ned Moran, possibly tug Mary E Messeck, unknown barge, Margaret A Moran (not visible), unknown tug (not visible), 1921 steam ferry Beacon.

@5:52 the hulk at the bottom of this frame is the remains of the steam tug Susan Moran

@5:48 in the space above the HILA (ATR 89) used to be the NY FD fireboat ABRAM S. HEWITT, 1908 tugboat Transfer #21, and 1904 tugboat Transfer #16. The ABRAM S. HEWITT served from 1903 until 1958; it was one of the fireboats that attempted to put out the fire aboard the NORMANDIE, and resulted in the ocean liner's capsizing at her moorings and later being scrapped. It was built by New York Shipbuilding Corp in 1903, and was the last coal-burning fireboat used. It had a triple expansion four cylinder engine.

@5:14 that is the remains of the 1900 PRR tug Wilmington and 1916 PRR tug Olean (PRR #12) at center left. The 1910 PRR tug Chester (PRR #11) was behind the Olean, but it is not visible.

@5:09 from the bottom of the screen upwards, you have an unknown tugboat, what is thought to be the 1922 Hudson Tow Boat Co. steam tugboat Shirley Keller and the 1919 Lee Transit Corp. steam tugboat Lee. On the other side of the two wrecked barges are the 1910 PRR steam tugboat Chester (PRR #11), 1916 PRR steam tugboat Olean (PRR #12), and 1900 PRR steam tugboat Wilmington. Then HILA (ATR 89). The 1916 PRR screw steam lighter Bucyrus and the 1914 railroad carfloat 618 used to be where those barges are at top right; I assume they are gone for good now.

@3:17 In 1998, the MAJ. GEN. WILLIAM H. HART was sold to a private investor, who had requested it to be towed down to this point on the Jersey Coast. After the boat had arrived at the predetermined spot, the tug waited for several hours for pickup to no avail, and the boat was left docked at this pier, where it sits half sunk today. Of special interest, the boat was put onto the National Registry of Historic Ships, not far after her abandonment.

@2:57 above the bow of HILA (ATR 89) in the center of the picture, from top to bottom, are the 1931 steam tug Walter L. Meseck, 1900 PRR steam tug Wilmington, 1916 PRR steam tug Olean (PRR #12). There are a couple of wooden barges, then the 1910 PRR steam tug Chester (PRR #11), what is thought to be the 1919 steam tugboat Lee, then another wooden barge. On the other side of that barge is the 1922 steam tug Shirley Keller and another unknown tug. Then, off to the left, you have side-by-side of the remains of (right to left) the 1928 steam ferry Greenwich Village, 1928 New England steamship New Bedford, and the motor ferry Seawalls Point. Above them is the Meseck Towing company Courier, LT Class steam tug Bloxom, an unknown tug, YOG 64, and tanker Michigan.

@2:15 at the lower right is the remains of the steam tug Walter Meseck. It was built in Tottenville, NY in 1931, and had a 250HP steam engine. To it's right may be the remains of the steam tug Wilmington, built for the PRR in Wilmington, DE in 1900.

@5:29 the large hull to the left and below PC-1217 is the Spartan, ex-SP-336. I believe the remains of the tanker Dispatch are behind it.

@3:53 HILA (ATR 89) is at the center. The New Bedford with the barely visible ferry Seawalls Point is at the top left edge of this frame. In front of the badly tilted New Bedford is the 1928 ferry Greenwich Village.

@2:51 the curved and badly tilted wreck at upper left is the 1928 New England steamship New Bedford. Some parts were taken from it to restore it's sister ship the Nobska; unfortunately, the drydock the Nobska was in was needed for the U.S.S. Constitution, and because it could not be floated out, it was scrapped. To the left of the New Bedford is the remains of the steam ferry Seawalls Point. The 1928 ferry Greenwich Village is to the right of the New Bedford. The Navy tugboat HILA (ATR 89) is in the middle of this frame; the tugs Harrisburg and Walter Meseck are above it, and the three landing craft next to PC-1264 are at the bottom. The tugs Sacum and Susan Moran, and the tanker Transoil may be to the upper left of them. Another salvage derrick with it's boom is at upper right.

@2:12 in the center of this frame is the Navy tugboat HILA (ATR 89), built in 1944.

@1:56 another view of the 1921 steam ferry Beacon. One of the salvage barges with it's huge derrick is ahead of it. The remains of the steam tug Margaret A Moran and another unknown tug are in front of and off the port bow of the Beacon. An unknown tug, with the remains of the steam ferry Garden City are at the upper right. The steam tug Dewey may be on the right edge of this frame.

@1:50 in the middle of this shot next to PC-1264 are the remains of the three landing craft. The hulk behind them may be the steam tug Ned Moran. The 1921 steam ferry Beacon is at the upper left.

@0:39 I think the tug in the foreground is the Meseck Towing Line tug Courier. The hulk in the distance at upper right is the tanker Michigan.
