THE GALLEON SHIP OF ABSECON:

Absecon, Atlantic County

How I found it: WNJ 14/21

old galleon house

This old galleon ship can be seen right on S Black Horse Pike in Absecon. Currently it functions as an antique shop, which makes sense considering how old this boat is. There once were a number of these ships sitting on roadsides throughout New Jersey, but the only other remaining one burnt down a few years ago, leaving this as the lone survivor. It originally functioned as a rental office for the Absecon beach Camp, then later it became a gas station before being converted to its current status. The shop was closed when I went by so I couldn't go inside. I'd be quite curious to see if the inside is "normal" or it is similarly themed to appear as if you're actually inside an old ship....

DO NOT TRESPASS. WE WARNED YOU.
