Historical Layups: BURNS HARBOR, 1985-86

During the winter of 1985-86, the Bethlehem Steel 1000' BURNS HARBOR spent the winter laid up at the former Litton Industries property at the foot of Holland Street. The vessel was laid up early that winter, as these photos, taken in early December, show.

A distant view shows how much things have changed since then. Today, the right side of this photo is the Intermodal Transportation Center, and on the left would be the Cruise Boat Terminal.
