Yeah, that's the Alameda Ferry Terminal. I said Bay Marine and I should have said Bay Ship; same parent company.

Anyways, this is a Google Maps satellite photo.

The HMB is now used as a floating dry dock which was its original purpose.

I remember reading the Sea Shadow itself went for $400,000 and yeah, you had to break it. You pay $400,000 to ship break a 572 ton boat; at $.20/lb that isn't gonna work. I suppose that only makes sense if you get the HMB-1 for a decent price and you can use it. Apparently that was the case for Bay Ship.
