Following Hurricane Katrina, perhaps a dozen boats that survived were abandoned in the city run marina. Boats that only needed sails put back on to be usable. Pearsons, Rangers, Columbias , etc. The city’s solution as to what to do with them? Simple. Just let them sink in the slips. There they sit waiting for the harbor reconstruction to begin so they can be raised and scrapped. Too novel for the city to seize and sell them. 12+ years after the storm we are still waiting for work to start. I think the hold up now is infighting over who receives the most kickbacks out of reconstruction.
