122 year old ghost ship, sitting abandoned in a Kentucky river. It was ridden a few times by Thomas Edison and appeared in a Madonna music video.

The U.S.S. Sachem was launched 10 years before the Titanic departed in 1902, initially a luxury ride for a railroad mogul and turned warship that powered through both world wars, including a few times with Thomas Edison aboard while he did wartime experiments.

During World War II the ship became outdated with new technologically advanced ships.

It was then purchased in the late 40s by a quickly-growing cruise line in New York City, and the Sachem became a recreational vessel once again used as a fishing and party boat, and later a sightseeing ship that ferried nearly 3 million people around New York.

It started her career as a cruise ship under the name, Sightseer, and eventually ending it as its final identity, the Circle Line V, in which the faded name that can still be found on her hull today.

How did it end up in its final location?

The vessel was purchased in 1986 by private owner Robert Miller with an attempt to repair it. But repairs didn’t go well. It reportedly took 10 days to move the ship from New York and after being navigated down the Mississippi by Miller and his crew, she was anchored on a small tributary off the Ohio River on Miller’s property. Water levels dropped so much that the ship became mired in the mud. Miller didn’t have the funds to move it so the ship sat there, never to sail again.

a while back I posted a picture asking if anyone had a curtain over their door, some people had mixed reviews, some people loved it
well… I did it! and I love it! Very dramatic and it keeps the drafts out of this 100+ year old door! Been a life saver for this Kentucky winter weather!
If you saw the post and remember and were contemplating it.. do it!!
Our wall color is Oak moss by Sherwin Williams, and the curtain color is Moss Green from Amazon! It’s a perfect match for this room!
In the summer I plan to pull all the curtains to the left side. Just to get them out of the way completely because we do sit on the front porch during that time.
Thanks for all the input! And if you hate it… Sorry! 😂

Got this from the sidewalk. The owner put a number of pieces out for free when they were moving. He even helped me load it. Yay!

Before and After of the Laurietta House built in 1825 in Mississippi. When high school sweethearts Maria Teresa “Tere” and William “Mac” Thomas, married for 39 years, began searching for a getaway near their hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana, Mac, an oil executive, had a hunting camp in mind. After a broker showed him the 680-acre property with rolling, wooded hills and a three-acre lake, he loved everything ... except the broken-down shell of a house that came with the parcel. “It was nothing that a match couldn’t cure,” jokes Mac. And so began what Tere calls Mac’s “gift of love,” a three-year gut renovation.
