The circular ballast counterweights are still lying in the corner of the yard.

You're right, they are. Cork metals have no use for cement.

You should see some of the rest of the hardware around the dock! The crane on the north side of the dock had to be removed last year as it was condemed.

Hi there
Whats that grille in the side of the hull?

Hi GTTC, from it's position it appears to be the water intake for the generators. Water would be taken from here to a valve chest for distribution to the three main generators. If not its the general services pump. The blade (or fin) located just ahead of the grill is the st.bd stabilizer. Hope this helps!
