Abandoned Boat, 18 Months After Katrina

A debris-filled light blue "Thunderbird" boat with Louisiana plate LA 0732 YK sits abandoned on a grassy curb beside a weathered wooden door reading "Don't Block Drive, No Parking."

An abandoned boat litters the 1800 block of Spain Street on March 13, 2007, more than 18 months after Katrina. People on the block complain that no agency or organization is willing to haul it away. The boat ID number is clearly visible under the trash.
