Reminds me of the ship in this episode of The Naked City.

Good one to me.

Across the river is Camden, NJ. In the background is the Walt Whitman Bridge. The ship is still visible from I-95, and is close to the Stadium complex. They could make a little money from tours, but liability could be an issue.
