Interesting. <br /><br />Was in Virginia Beach a week ago and past by a couple of yards there with "moth-balled" vessels. Kinda sad to see them all sitting there like that.

There is NOTHING finer than finding a "treasure" in a "salvage" yard.<br /><br />Junkyard Explorers-UNITE!<br /><br />We need a motto.

I have some small salvage mementos from this <br />ship the "Beaver" my Great Grandfather had<br />collected after this historical steamer ran aground<br />on Prospect point in Burrard Inlet.<br />Also a painting of her run aground from the late<br />1800's<br /><br />picture<br /> http://www.vancouvermaritimemuseum.com/beaver.htm <br /><br /> http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/ships/html/sh_010500_beaver.htm
