John,
Returned to find the ferry in an even more precarious position, listing more offshore. Launched my boat today in Newburgh and took the attached photos. Took a close look inside the oil containment boom and could find no signs or smell of oil. aft, I heard that the owners had a salvage plan, I will keep my eye on it.

this sadly reminds me of the history of commercial shipping
here in the Hudson River.Allmanner of sailing craft,but mostly Hudson River Sloops were used by the Dutch io ferry all manner of cargo before the era of the railroad.Sadly they were all either scuttled for salvage,or burned,leaving no surviving relics.
does anyone have an update on this ferry???
