Last week, Gossips linked to an article in the Register-Star about the Golden Re-al, a boat that has been sitting for several years in the southernmost embayment of Henry Hudson Riverfront Park, suffering from the ravages of weather and vandals, and is now going to be scrapped by its owner: "Who Knew?" That post was accompanied by this picture, taken by a Gossips reader in April 2026, showing the boat partially submerged in the water.
Last week's post prompted Brenda Shufelt, History Room Coordinator at the Hudson Area Library, to send me pictures she had taken two years earlier, in April 2024, when she came upon the boat while exploring the waterfront. Those pictures are shared here with her permission.
When Shufelt came upon the boat in 2024, there pictures of the boat in its better days, including some pictures of the interior, displayed on the shore in front of the boat. Here are Shufelt's pictures of those pictures.
The photographs of the interior, particularly the kitchen, make its sad fate particularly lamentable.
