Poseidon Once Again Sailing the Seven Seas
Ben Vitale

 

Reminiscent of the 1972 movie the “Poseidon Adventure,” we have our own ship, called the Poseidon in Patchogue River! From Greek mythology, Poseidon is the “God of the sea!” In the 1972 movie the “God” did not do much good; the ship which was named after him was turned upside- down by a rogue wave!

Patchogue River is currently being dredged, to allow for continued boat traffic. The company that is doing the dredging operation named one of its vessels the “Poseidon;” LOL, that is so cool! OK! The “Poseidon” that is performing the dredging operation is not as luxurious as the ship that was in the movie! OK! It is only a barge! LOL!

After seeing the movie, I realized that the God “Poseidon,” does not have a very good track record of protecting ships that are named after him! LOL! The photo above is of the Patchogue River “Poseidon.” As you can see, the stern of the barge is very close to the dock! If I were the Captain of this Barge, I would ponder on the past performance, of the God “Poseidon,” and his track record for protecting ships at sea! Even if the ship was intentionally placed near the dock, I would not trust the God “Poseidon!” LOL! “Look what he allowed to happen in the movie!” LOL!

Our Patchogue “Poseidon,” is located at the Sandspit Marina. You might want to rent the movie; I enjoyed it! LOL!
