The Google maps crowd at metafilter is puzzled by an apparent “ghost ship” that has shown itself hovering over Fort Schuyler’s Pier.

Here’s the post: [SUNY Maritime Ghost Ships?

The map in question can be found [URL=http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=40.804714,-73.795064&spn=0.003301,0.005391&t=k&om=1" target="_blank]HERE.

Can any Schuyler guys help with their dilemma?

It appears that the image has been fixed, as it looks normal to me. It appears that the image was taken during either sea term or when the the Empire State was at the shipyards. That is the USNS Stalwart or SUNY Maritime at the pier.
