V.L. Keegan

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

V.L. Keegan was built in 1932, by Ira S. Bushey and Sons of Brooklyn, New York for Spentonbush Fuel Transport, Incorporated. She was acquired by the United States Navy where she was designated YO-166 during World War II. The unit was later acquired by the Eklof Marine Corporation of Staten Island, New York where she was named back to V.L. Keegan.

Both the Keegan and the Dorothy sank at a dock in the Raritan River and were cut up in place and loaded onto a barge prior to reefing.
