Update: There are plans being made to remove the wreck from the beach at Brant Point. She will be towed to the Steamboat Wharf where she will be prepared to be towed to New Bedford and destroyed. A lot of people on Nantucket are happy to finally see the old girl leave the harbor.
1/3/2011 A tug towed the wreck to Steamboat Wharf today. A hazmat company was hired to remove the sewage from her. Not sure when the next tug will come and remove her from Nantucket for good. Stay tuned.
1/9/2011 The wreck is still tied up at Steamboat Wharf. All of the sewage and other hazardous materials have been pumped out of her. Not sure when she will be towed out of here. I want to be at Brant Point when she is being towed around the point bound for America. That will be the last time she ever rounds Brant Point.
BUCK OF THE WEEK:
Here, I had my trail cam set up at a buck rub. Several big bucks visited the rub including this one. Notice his antlers. The spike on one side and the fork on the other side. Click on the picture twice for a larger view.

I was waiting to see if you'd post pictures...glad you did - great shots.
Great shots!
Martie, what side of the discussion do you come down on: pro-Miss China or con-Miss China? Great shots as usual.
Thanks Greg and everyone else.
I will not be offering my opinion of the Miss China here. Thanks. I will share my thoughts when I see you in person.
That's a beautiful shot, Martie. You really captured the scene very well.

Thanks, Sharon. Never a dull moment around the waterfront!
After reading the Inky Mirror today,I think Blair Perkins should tow the Miss China off the beach.He brought it here,he's friends with the owner and he has a vessel capable of towing it back out of the harbor.Its a win-win situation for everyone,especially Joe Dooley.Think of the poor guy and his dogs stranded on the beach.My heart goes out to them,lets hope Blair does the right thing.
I agree! One waterman should help another
Martie, very good shot of the hapless Miss China on the point. Sad to see a boat go down to the scrapper, but the town's frustration is understandable.
