FAIRHAVEN, Mass., — October 22, 2013 — A derelict boat, long an eyesore in the New Bedford harbor, is being dismantled for removal, according to the owner of the dock space.
"I can't wait till it's done," said Jeffrey Linberg, Jr., owner of Linberg Marine, Inc., 50 Middle Street, where the F/V Challenge occupies a 92-foot dock space.
On Tuesday morning, a crane tore out the rusty mast, oil tanks and rotted wood from the scalloper which has been lying on the bottom on its port side at the dock for almost five years, Linberg said.
