Lets start a new hockey team based on a big ship in the lake. Are there international waters on the lakes? I doubt it, but I’m thinking of that Simpson’s (?) episode where they cut away to a boat on international waters where everything’s legal. :poke: We could call the team the Lake Sturgeons. :gay:

I have no idea why this crossed my mind. But anyways it was scrapped in Aliaga, Turkey.

Is that the ship deconstruction yard that’s recgonized as one of the most dangerous and toxic places to work or am I thinking of a place in India?

Oh, that’s what reminded me of this. There’s an article on CNN today about the ship wrecking yards in Bangladesh.

Little more on this ship if you’re interested
> **[SS Aquarama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Aquarama)**
>
> The SS Aquarama, formerly known as the SS Marine Star, was a World War II troop ship for the United States Navy. In 1952, it was converted into the largest passenger ship ever to operate in the Great Lakes. Originally named the Marine Star, the Aquarama was built in 1945 in Chester, Pennsylvania as a United States Maritime Commission C4-S-B5 type of ship. Designed as a transoceanic troop carrier, the ship made one trip across the Atlantic before combat ceased.
> **[Type C4-class ship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_C4_class_ship)**
>
> The Type C4 class ship were the largest cargo ships built by the United States Maritime Commission (MARCOM) during World War II. The design was originally developed for the American-Hawaiian Lines in 1941, but in late 1941 the plans were taken over by the MARCOM. Eighty-one ships were built as cargo or troopships in four shipyards: Kaiser Richmond, CA (35 ships), Kaiser Vancouver, WA (20 ships), Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock in Chester PA (20 ships) and Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point MD (6 ships)....

It’s sad that Buffalo will fight so much to save a grain mill but have no problem with sending something like this off to be scrapped. That ship had REAL history with the Great Lakes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been an eyesore in the harbor for decades and I’m glad it’s gone, but if I were one of these “everything is historic” assholes that hold up any development in Buffalo I think I would have been a little more upset about this.

Funny how they pick the worn out trash to keep. Too bad they can’t tug the grain elevators to Eurasia for scrapping.

I dont know that you could stop someone from sending their privately owned boat to a scrapyard the same way you can stop them from demolishing a historic building in the city.
that being said I’m one of those assholes and if I wasnt 18/unaware of its existance when this happened I would have been involved in the effort
