Default Ship - STOLT BASUTO 3-20a.jpg


I wonder about shipyards around the U.S. giving way to residential and
commercial uses.

In WWII, those shipyards were key to our "Victory at Sea", in the
Atlantic and the Pacific.

Chemical tanker passing by Port Herman, MD at the end of March.

The land I was standing on in March to take this picture was part of
an old Boy Scout retreat that was closed about 5 years ago but was
kept open to the public for fishing. In April , the Boy Scouts sold
the property for almost 1M to a private individual , about 2 acres
with a fantastic view. Now no trespassing signs are posted all over
the place and another water access point has been gobbled up for
private use . I understand the new owner plans to put a single house
on the lot .

I wish I would have gone there more often.


It's a shame that we are loosing more and more public space.
