I ran across this interesting piece and thought my fellow outdoors people would enjoy it.
Soon after being built, the Celt was a luxury yacht for its wealthy owner.
The article outlines the history of this ship, which has had many names and was used for many different purposes, including yachting, anti-submarine duty, hosting Thomas Edison for experimental work, charter fishing boat, and tourist-hauling in New York.

Purchased by a Kentucky resident for a measly $7,500, she was then sailed west and abandoned in a creek just off the Ohio river, where she’s been peacefully rusting away for more than 30 years.
The images of the old ship today are both haunting and interesting.
