Suisun Bay Ghost Fleet Grows Smaller

There are 70 vessels in the Suisan Bay Reserve Fleet in San Francisco Bay and all are now shedding toxic paint after all these years on not being used.

Back in December, the last two Victory Ships were removed, the Rider Victory and Winthrop Victory. The SS Mission Santa Ynez, built in 1943, is also slated to be towed through the Panama Canal to Brownsville, Texas, where it will be scrapped by Esco Marine Dismantling Service.

Next, the History of the Ships. --DaCoot
