    • Opinion: Boating-Boom Bottom Line: A Derelict Vessel Tsunami by Peter Swanson

      Abandoned and derelict boats are a growing problem all along the waterways of America, particularly in places that don’t freeze in winter. Today’s analysis suggests we will soon be seeing a tsunami of wrecks and soon-to-be wrecks, rendering today’s blight almost insignificant by comparison.

      In Green Cove Springs, Florida, one boat is aground (there are four altogether) and another is anchored without an owner aboard, which appears to be the case for most of the other 20 or so vessels that have come here over the past few years.
