The one near Pye ally, at one time it was tied to a small dock just a little ways down river from the new/old Appomattox split, seems to me it was there for weeks and appeared that it was being used as a camper. Then one day, it was anchored just a little up river of the dock and sat for probably a month. Then all the sudden one day it was moved and anchored again in the middle of the "old" channel, probably 100 yards or less from the split. I am guessing, since it was in the navigable channel, the owner was forced to move it. It sat there for months, seemingly abandoned. Some storms came through and it started taking on water. I remember calling it in to VDGIF at that point. Since that side is not considered navigable, it did not appear that people were on board and, it did not appear to be leaking fluids, they were not seemingly too concerned at the time. Not too long after that, somehow it got pushed more to the bank to where it sits now, or at least the last time I was up that way. But, it's been years ago for me.
I found a few old pictures. Hopefully, they'll post
