Great memories of fishing on the Bronx Queen with my dad for the 1st time in 1968 up until the time it sank in the 80's. It sailed out of a dock on I believe the Bronx River on Westchester Avenue underneath the el. The boat had a storied past as a former World War II sub chaser.

There were a few other party fishing boats that were in this marina one that I remember was the Claire which moved up to City Island.

The Bronx Queens oddessy ended when it hit debris while returning from a Fall fishing trip and sank pretty quickly. Unfortunately two people died as a result.

Last I'd heard a diving company had located the Bronx Queens final resting location and did a salvage dive onto the Bronx Queen. They were able to recover the BQ's bell and other items.
