Huh ? I thought the Enterprise was exported to one of the islands to our south . Cayman or somewhere similar.

I wonder if they recovered the old submarine Enterprise that sank near Coney Island. The pollution from the batteries onboard that get be good for the surrounding area.

So, I can’t afford a boat, you can, you enjoy your time on the water (while I don’t) and then decide to leave it, and I, the taxpayer have to pay for the removal?? Go to the last Permit Holder and they need to pay for the removal. I am so sick of people taking advantage.

I don’t understand how the owners of boats can get away with this for so long.Boats just like vehicles are registered at one point or another.
So why not go after the last registered owner to repay for removal fees.
It should be up to the listed owner to prove or disprove that they are no longer the rightful owner within a set period of time, if not they are responsible for all associatied costs for removal.

And the owners are good to go?
Hell.
Some of those hulls look like the Sea Venture.

What a shame…Boats like cars should have mandatory insurance required that insurance should cover prompt removal to avoid batteries and fuel polluting our biggest resource. While at it we should have mandatory boat operators licenses also, it is crazy to watch sometimes.
