Mr. Baxter- thanks for the update. I think she is former trawler GODEFROY DE BOUILLON built at Bath.Me. in 1947.
later PETER M and QUICKSILVER. IMO#5132717. May have been renamed PETER M again before going to the boneyard.

Ralph, you are correct, it needs to be moved to the Scrapyard category. I over looked that and put it in the relics, will correct. Thanks

Razorboy, I cannot make a name on trawler. I thought I took a recently,but did not. She was being scraped last month (October 2012). I will tell you what I about her, she has been at pictured site for sveral years, maybe five. She waqs used as some kind ob reseach vessel and was laid up in Portsmouth, VA at Virginia Yacht. She was there numerous years maybe as early as 2000. A guy bought and was going to make her into a sailing ship and school kids on her, that obviously never happened.

Did you get a name on the listing vessel on the far right?
could it be the old QUICKSILVER?
