Last week we received another update on the sinking retired Staten Island ferry in New Windsor, near Newburgh. This time, our watchdog in the area took photos of the ferry from his boat. See those below.

John,
Returned to find the ferry in an even more precarious position, listing more offshore. Launched my boat today in Newburgh and took the attached photos. Took a close look inside the oil containment boom and could find no signs or smell of oil. aft, I heard that the owners had a salvage plan, I will keep my eye on it.
