USS NJ Stuck in Point Pleasant today

[Mark_C]

The NJ was being temporarily moved from Camden and got stuck in the Point Pleasant Canal.
She's right next to the bridge on Bridge Ave on the border of Point and Bay Head.
I'll be driving by around 1pm and will let you guys know if its a worthwhile sightseeing stop (and make sure the bridge is open).



When I started typing this there were 2 news articles and a picture.
Now they've been removed.
Wondering if they're trying to stop a tourist fiasco from shutting down Bridge Ave?

Its weird. I saw 2 articles earlier and now they're both gone.
Wondering if its an elaborate hoax.
Will find out in a bit I guess.

Gotta be a hoax. That photo in the article is badly Photoshopped.
Plus, the logistics and expenses of powering up a battleship must be staggering.
Then being dumb enough to drive it through a shallow canal?
Guessing its a hoax (but I'll still drive by, just in case).

HA! Look at the article!
Genius!

The 'Skipper' is Jonah (Skipper on Gilligans Island's first name)
'Professor Storm Vento and his assistant, Finn Marian' (Professor and Maryann)
'You should have heard the howls as we gingerly moved her up the bay' (Ginger and the Howells)

Love it!
