释义 |
MV Uncatena was a passenger and vehicle ferry that was operated by the Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority, and later by several Florida-based entrepreneurs that attempted to convert her to a gambling boat. Uncatena was built by Blount Boats in Warren, Rhode Island, and was launched on June 27, 1965.[1] She began service to Nantucket island on July 29.[2] In 1971, she was lengthened by {{convert|52|ft|m}} by adding a section amidships.[3] In 1993, she left Authority line service and was sold to Casino Miami Cruises, which renamed her Entertainer and modified her to operate gambling cruises out of Miami beginning in 1997.[4] This endeavor proved unprofitable, and she was moved to Tampa and renovated again to run gambling cruises in the area; however, Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the development of on shore casinos meant that she was scrapped in 2008.[4]ReferencesBibliography
