On the Erie Canal, ships are not permitted to run them, and it's BIG fine money if they're caught pumping any amount of oil/grease/whatever that bilge water may be contaminated with. Yes! Like in lock....No painting, discharge, etc... But insane, you'd think they'd make exception for stuff like this! USCG is right there. They regulate that stuff!

Ann Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 The weather has been awful. Pouring rain. It is now sunny out (with a coating of snow on the grass), so if the rain stops, that may help. BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — City officials held a press conference Saturday afternoon at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park to address the status of USS The Sullivans, as it began sinking earlier this week. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said the ship will not be righted this weekend, and “probably will not be done by next week,” but assured that the Naval Park, the Coast Guard, the City of Buffalo, Erie County and others are working to make it happen, calling it an “expensive undertaking that we are all engaged in.” Brown said that weather thus far has not been optimal for working on the ship, which has made it more difficult. He also urged the public to follow safety procedures in the area, and stay behind the protective fencing, for the safety of workers on the ship and the public. </snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Why did they allow it to get this bad in the first place? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crap Throwing Clavin Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) I'm seriously considering calling the naval park and seeing if they have any reclaimed wood from The Sullivans, so I can make some pens they can sell to raise money for the park.

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I always thought The Sullivans was aft/behind the Little Rock. When did they squeeze The Sullivans in between wall and Little Rock? I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Scouring... Little Rock draws more water than Sullivans and if Sullivans is in prior spot as Little Rock, that's a deeper hole in mud that was made. Definitely floating! ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a photo I took in 2017, and that is the Little Rock. So, the Sullivans must be on the other side of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Little Rock being aft of The Sullivans. This can only mean one thing: a glitch in the Matrix. The Mandela effect is real.
