DISTRIBUTED BY STEGER BEACH SERVICE, CAPE MAY, N. J. CONCRETE SHIP ATLANTUS CAPE MAY POINT, NEW JERSEY This concrete ship situated at the foot of Sunset Boulevard was one of an experimental lot of ships built by the United States Govern- ment during the World War. The Atlantus was purchased by promoters for use as a Ferry Landing for a proposed route from Cape May Point to Lewes, Delaware. One night a North- east Storm broke it from its mooring and beached it and the ferry project did not mate- rialize at that time, but there is still hope that it will eventually become a reality. <-"CURTEICH COLOR" REPRODUCTION FROM KODACHROME OR EKTACHROME ORIGINAL- 4C-K1013
