[StartQuote] AAAARH WILL, That's my kind of bloke, "Dam the torpedos full speed ahead", OK I have found photos for the years that I could not find before, and aaaarh I blew it, the remains inside the cove are not from the PT 59, they are from a barge that had been placed there to act as a pier. O-well back to the drawing board, I will say that what remains of her does appear to still be there in 2004 and maybe later as the area that she is in still lies within the mudflat area, "rather hard to get at" one would think, and there are still shadows that I can't identify in later years photos, so one day either there will be a nice low tide at the time of an aerial survey or maybe I will visit the area and walk the mudflats just for my own interest. I have been trying to find any form of report that would help nail down the date she was removed, however no luck with that should be something around but nothing yet, anyone know who to ask to find something official? Anyone interested try, HistoricAerials.com, search Harlem River then navigate your way to Inwoods North Cove start at 1974 on the left hand side and work your way up the years. This has been fun and I'm a little sad that she may be gone but one can always hope! Dave. P.S. By the 1974 photo she appears to still be 77' long. this is rough as guts but in the photo she is roughly 5mm wide and 20mm long so 5 into 20 =4, 77' Elco is roughly 20' wide so roughly 77' not 65' as I said rough as guts![EndQuote]
