SS Atlantus - Cape May Point, NJ

Here is another shot of the sunken cement ship "Atlantus" from our first night in Cape May. This was the night that we had a lot of smoke in the air from the North Carolina fires.

View On Black

S. S. Atlantus
The S. S. Atlantus is probably the most famous concrete ship. She was built by the Liberty Ship Building Company in Brunswick, Georgia and launched on December 5, 1918 and was the second concrete ship constructed in the World War I Emergency Fleet.
The war had ended a month earlier, but the Atlantus was used to transport American troops back home from Europe and also to transport coal in New England. In 1920, the ship was retired to a salvage yard in Virginia.

In 1926, the Atlantus was purchased by Colonel Jesse Rosenfeld to be used as ferry dock in Cape May, New Jersey for a proposed ferry between Cape May and Cape Henlopen, DE.

In March 1926, the groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the construction of the ferry dock. The Atlantus was repaired and towed to Cape May. On June 8th, a storm hit and the ship broke free of her moorings and ran aground 150 feet off the coast of Sunset Beach. Several attempts were made to free the ship, but none were successful.

In Loving Memory of Edward DeSimone
Originally uploaded by *charminglyBohemian

I would like to dedicate this photograph to Edward DeSimone; my neighbor ( and one of many victims I know) who was murdered in the world trade center attacks. He left his two children behind him and his wife. Ed was a truly amazing man, and i can see so much of him in his children.
this is a memorial in his honor.
This was written by Gloria:
"Gloria

I grew up and played with Eddie as a child. I lived just around the corner from him. I wrote this about him a while ago. Today being the anniversary seems appropriate to share it.
Edward DeSimone III

We shared moments in the sun
Laughter, wrestling, childhood fun
Never asking how much time we had
Never believing we’d ever be sad
That is what children feel
That pain and tears are not quite real
I found out though that life has pain
Because my childhood friend will not play again
On 9-11 his life came to an end
Taking from this earth my childhood friend
Although as we grew up we did lose touch
Wrestling as children though our joy held much
Just being innocent without care
Now I pray for his family’s despair
He left behind children and a wife
So young to say goodbye to life
I will remember him when I pray
When I reflect at the end of my day
If not understanding the loss of life
Then growing stronger from the strife
To hold his memory close and dear
By growing strong and not showing fear
The flag that flies in terrorism’s way
Remembers every soul lost on 9-11 day

Gloria-9/11/2004"

Taken at the Paterson Great Falls. Right before I retreated to the car from a sudden snow squall hitting.

In 1778, Alexander Hamilton visited the falls and was impressed by its potential for industry. Later as the nation's first Secretary of Treasury, he selected the site of the nation's first planned industrial city, which he called a "national manufactory."

The story of the John A. Roebling's Sons Company is the story of the romance of industry; the saga of a great family....

I had the distinct honor of getting a tour of what will soon be the Museum of Contemporary Science in Trenton, New Jersey. But the story of where it's going can only be told from where it came from.

MoCS will be housed in one of the old Roebling buildings in Trenton. Back before the turn of the century, John Roebling was an engineer who would go on to fabricate some of the best wire rope there was. From these wire ropes would hang some of the best suspension bridges the world has seen: The Brooklyn Bridge, the Niagra Gorge Bridge, and yes, the Golden Gate Bridge, to name a few.

In 1848, Roebling chose to set up a wire rope factory in Trenton for a number of reasons, the principal ones being that it was near the Cooper Iron Works, his source of supply of wire; it was well equipped with transportation facilities of all sorts, roads, railroads, and canal and river boats; and it was readily accessible to the thriving eastern markets.

The Roebling story is remarkable and the building I was in, which will house the science center, is being kept to look basically the way it did back in Roebling's heyday. Crafting wire rope was not easy. It was hot and dirty and done day after day by the men and women that helped build Trenton into the "Trenton Makes, The World Takes" center of industry is was for awhile. Touring the building, you can almost hear the clank of hammer, and feel the heat of the furnaces used to wind and twist steel. It's a remarkable building and I hope the science center does well there. Springsteen sang about finding "yellow ore" in his song Youngstown and what it did for Youngstown, Ohio. He could have just as easily done a song about this too. This New Jersey history should not be lost.

I'll post some of these photos individually, as they do stand on their own, but wanted to do the mosaic as well.

The head guy in charge timed it just right so's they'd leave at the very same moment as is evident in this photo. I've gotta say, 'been there to previous festivals and never seen anything quite like this. You'll see in later image posts of mine how spectacular it truly was. Imagine tens of hot air balloons all taking off in the span of a short time. The weather was seriously perfect for all this. :-)
