They just recently sold one of the Cape-Lewes May ferries for scrap and the company that bought it is turning it into a barge.While it is sad to see her go because she had a massive refit in 1998,the work they did was its downfall due to it losing stability and becoming a dock queen only able to sail in calm weather. Here is a link to the article in my local paper http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/...069df69cd6.htmlNow onto the good part that I really want to share  The company that bought her is selling everything.If it came on a 320ft mini cruise ship with 4 decks,it is for sale.When I went through the website I initially saw 2 commercial sinks that might be of interest to Todd and that is just the beginning.They have stainless deck furniture,large valves,I'd imagine there are some pretty big pumps,pizza ovens,teak woodwork,benches for a dock,bronze outdoor lighting etc,etc.Might be a good source for a few springtime PB projects and at the very least its a neat way to kill some time this Monday. Here is the link to the company that is scrapping her http://www.goodbuyferry.com/home.html They have changed a few things listed over the past few days and I would imagine there is more to come.If I get a break in the weather this week I'm probably going to take a ride up there

I have been on this ferry quite a few times,mostly to see the fireworks on the 4th of July.She was rarely used because of stability issues,so I would think a lot of things kept indoors should be in nice shape.If this weather ever quits I'm going to take a ride up there with my dad.The few things listed on the website are not even close to what should be available.
Todd,they took down the picture of the one sink and added some different things,if I see it when I go up there I'll get a pic for you.It was a standard commercial wash sink with 2 bays and a stainless pot ext on one side a work station on the other.

The bar sink looks it could work if set up properly.
