New US ship Seneca sails as derelict destroyer pioneer
The Seneca, a gleaming new derelict destroyer, is the first and only vessel of its kind. Designed for naval rescue and derelict destruction, she carries explosive devices, divers, a hospital, machine shop, and life saving gear for ships and mariners across the North Atlantic from Portland to Charleston. Captain William E. Reynolds commands a crew of 65 with an 1,800 horsepower engine capable of 5,000 mile non stop runs.
