Although the calendar says its fall , you couldn't tell by this view of Cape May today.
The concrete ship, U.S.S. Atlantus viewed from Sunset Beach, Cape May Point, New Jersey.
Hello and thanks for checking out my video, on the concrete ship...yes, concrete!
Due to a shortage of steel, during World War I, the federal goverment turned to experimental design concrete ships. An emergency fleet of 38 concrete ships were planned by the United States Shipping Board. Only 12 of the concrete ships were ever put into service. Two others had construction begun, but they were never completed.
The Atlantus was the second prototype, a 3,000 ton 250 foot long freightliner. it was built with 5 inch thick hull of special concrete aggregate, to correct shattering and brittleness problems found in the first concrete ship. It was built by the Liberty Shipbuilding Corporation of Brunswick, Georgia. She was launched on November 21st. 1918, at Wilmington, North Carolina. Commissioned June 1st. 1919, the Atlantus served for a year as a goverment owned privately operated commercial coal steamer in New England.
With the end of the war, the more efficent steel ships were again available. The Concrete Fleet was decommissioned. The Atlantus was sent to the Bone Yard at Pigs Point, in Norfolk, Virginia in September of 1920. A year later the Atlantus was stripped after being purchased by a salvage company.
In 1926, the Atlantus was towed to Cape May, New Jersey. A Baltimore firm was attempting to start a ferry service from Cape May, New Jersey to Lewes, Deleware. It was planned to have a channel dredge well into shore. The Atlantus would then be forced into the channel. A special drawbridge type of device was to be mounted on the exposed end. two other hulls would be sunk at angles creating a Y shape. The ferry would dock by wedging in and cars and passengers would load and unload by use of the drawbridge.
While awaiting positioning the Atlantus broke loose of her moorings duning a storm June 8th. 1926 and went aground. Several attempts were made to free the Atlantus, but they were futile.

This year, I went on a trip throughout the Northeastern United States - all the way from North Carolina to Maine. I wanted to visit places I hadn't been to before - both typical highlights of the state as well as locations off the beaten path. I used AtlasObscura.com to help meet the latter condition.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
