A collection of historic schooners, once featured on a Maine-themed coin and associated with Jacques Cousteau’s expeditions, now lie abandoned at the bottom of a canal in New York City. The vessels, which once served as symbols of maritime heritage and exploration, have fallen into disrepair despite their cultural significance. Authorities are investigating how these decaying ships ended up in the waterway, raising questions about preservation efforts. The discovery highlights a stark contrast between their past grandeur and their current neglected state.
