USS Barnegut

from $220.00

I caught this old vessel in the bright sunrise across the Delaware river from Philadelphia.

The Barnegat was built in 1904 by the New York Shipbuilding Company in Camden and served for decades with the U.S. Coast Guard. After a long and storied life, it now rests quietly in the mud at an abandoned marina.

Exploring this forgotten spot from the air was a lot of fun—and a reminder of the history hidden in plain sight.
