Hi Alan, I thought the very same thing when I saw the pics. The poor old ship had been laid up for years, first in the New York docks, and then she was towed over to Hoboken. I guess it was cheaper for IMM to dock the ship over in Jersey, but firing up those boilers after so many years of neglect really left a pall of smoke over most of the Hudson on the day she finally left.
