The Ship is gone now.
But there was one organization that tried to save it from destruction.
The MS. FRATERNAL ORDER of POLICE LODGE # 3 attempted to rally and gage interest from local organizations.
However after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, people on the Gulf Coast were rebuilding their lives and homes. The person who owned the land just wanted it removed so the land could be sold.
Hurrican Katrina washed the old gift shop away and it was not going to be rebuilt.
I have several photos of it just before they destroyed it. It took only a few moments.
It was a great photo spot for tourists and identifiable landmark for those seeking directions.

This is sad. I lived in this house for three years in the early 1940's with my dad, mom brother Earle while my day served in the Army. I remember the house well. I have photos of the completed house both interior and exterior. My brother and I played on the front porch and is documented well. A few years age before Katrina, my wife visited the house and spoke with the owner. She was a flight attendent with TWA out of NY and her husband was a member of the SEALS. We visited the home two years after the storm and it appeared as we see it in the internet photo. Next week, we are returning to the Pass in hopes we can see some improvement to the property. I seriously doubt it. Anyone having info on the property, please advise. Thanks, JFW jwilliam@omniarchitects.com

BTW, if you happen to be on U.S. Highway 98 and come to the St. Marks bridge, I suggest stopping for a bite to eat at Ouzts Too? Good fresh seafood.

A storm was heading in from the west when I took this photo. The sky behind me at the time I took this photo was only partly cloudy.

BTW, can you spot the fishing bobber in this photo?

I had been meaning to take photos of this historic gas station for a long time and I finally got around to doing it.

That bird was looking for a handout the entire time we were there. You could get within a few feet of it before it flew off. But the bird would only fly a few yards away, wait until you moved and then flew back waiting for handouts. I got some very good photos of the bird "posing" for me.

Construction began on the Victory Bridge in 1919 and it dedicated in ceremonies on July 20, 1922 and was given the name "Victory" for the allied victory in World War I. Soon after completion of the bridge, work began on paving U.S. 90. The bridge remained in operation until the 1960's when a new Victory Bridge was constructed. The pictures seen here are from the eastern side of the Apalachicola River where the majority of the bridge still survives although is only used for foot traffic (the last several feet of the bridge is sealed off to the public by the U.S. Geological Survey which has instruments to keep an accurate gauge of the river's depth).
