Didn't move much! NO! I worked on the boat for 5 years! ('79-'84) in Wildwood. It was the Big Blue Sightseer then owned by Capt. Schumman. I lived right on board each summer and that boat was in excellent shape! In the early eighties, Schumman replanked the entire hull, sideshell and main deck with new Honduros Mahogeny. We used to carry 200 people per trip 5 trips a day in the spring and fall and through most of '79 to '81 the boat was packed every trip. Now I know where it is again!
PT 486 has been sitting on blocks for 10 years now and appears to be wasting away. Crying shame. Paste these coordinates in google earth and you will be centered on PT 486. 39° 6'40.91"N, 74°44'10.30"W
