One of the best days of a man’s life may be the day he gets rid of his boat, but it’s among the worst for the city. More than 500 rusting and decaying boats are littered throughout the Big Apple’s winding waterways, some of which have been bobbing for close to a century – and locals are growing sick of the eyesores. The city has plucked just 85 abandoned ships from the shores over the last 14 months as part of a slow-moving, expensive project bogged down by archaic marine laws.
