I enjoyed the crap out of that. Not just as a drone pilot, but as it made me imagine the days of when men were working on the decks. Nice job.

Sad to see all those ships like that.. Beautiful video.

Fascinating. Thanks for putting it up. Nice quality footage.

Sad old boats but Very interesting Video. I have a buddy out in Jersey. We used to Kayak here in Utah. If I can get better I'm going to go see Mike and say get the boats out pack a lunch and beer let's go tour some rust 😁

A Drone with its own mp3 player.

Eeerily pretty but also sad

Beautiful footage. Thank you. I have drone envy😁

Shot across the water from one of my favorite places. I have seen you out there, Jersey Droneman.

I live in Nashville now but I am from NJ. I enjoyed your video a lot.

@@NicholasLittlejohn most of the bottom paint would be copper based. The white top side on the other hand would have been white lead... But honestly, little compared to the historical load of other toxins.

The description says "Take a tour over the Arthur Kill Ship Graveyard in Staten Island, NY. (Courtesy of Jersey Drone)" so I Googled "Arthur Kill Ship Graveyard" and it came up with a business name of "Staten Island Boat Graveyard." and a phone number. Apparently it's a scrap yard for boats much like a junkyard for cars. There is also a Wikipedia page with more info on the scrapyard.

it's also not in New Jersey.

Sehr schön :-)

Wow just wow

is anything in NY NOT rotting or rusting away?

Awesome video... why say off the coast of NJ? This is Staten Island and a river bank isn’t the coast. 😐

These would have been great reefs if sunk offshore

Great video. Well put together too. What kind of drone took this?

Clean this garbage up!! It's scary, dirty, and dangerous, times have changed.

What boat is the fireboat?

We need to clean up these toxic ships.

Where is this, AC?

👍👍😩😢😭😭

Been looking at this all my life. Don't understand why it was never cleaned up. It really is disgusting.

jim poesl the company responsible is slowly reducing the number of ships. But some are banned from being moved do to all the chemicals sitting in one spot (the ship itself) and moving it at one time can release all the chemicals in the bottom and pollute the river even more than it just sitting there

Talk with your legislators

Why doesn't the Coast Guard or the US Army Corps Of Engineers tow these abandoned derelict vessels away?

If it isn't already this should be a superfund site and every last one of those wrecks should be cleaned up and scrapped. Absolutely despicable that it has been allowed to get this bad.

Why do theses ships owners get to abandoned them, instead of paying to scrap them out? So waters get polluted with and make an eyesore and eventually Tax Payers will foot the bill!
