Staten Island Boat Graveyard

The Staten Island Boat Graveyard is a marine scrapyard located in Arthur Kill on the northern shore of Staten Island, New York. Founded in the 1930s, it serves as a dumping ground for wrecked tugboats, barges, ferries and other vessels from all decades of the 20th century. Some of these boats have historic significance, including the submarine chaser USS PC-1264 — the first World War II U.S. Navy ship to have a predominantly African-American crew — and the New York City Fire Department fireboat Abram S. Hewitt, which served as the floating command post at the 1904 sinking of the passenger ferry PS General Slocum, a disaster that killed more than 1,000 people.
