Absecon, New Jersey - Ship House The poor Ship House is now sitting all alone on its plot of land right next to the busy westbound side of Route 30 in Absecon, NJ. I was afraid to pull into the empty lot, not knowing if there were things that might poke a hole in the tire, so I pulled off the side of the road. There wasn't a soul around, and I quickly had to pull back out and leave, as traffic from Atlantic City came flying up towards my parked car sitting in the exit lane of Route 30 West.
Ah, poor old abandoned Ship House -- what will become of ye after the next Nor'Easter or hurricane? [jerzyrock, 07/05/2008]
Absecon, New Jersey - The Ship House The old woman who owned the place died in September 2006. The Ship House is now empty. And the correction to the story line is that originally, the ship was supposed to have been an outhouse (Men/Women) toilet for a small community that never came about. The old woman used to give out little pamplets (a single sheet of paper) describing its origin. No, I don't have it anymore. Why? Because I probably put it someplace so it wouldn't get lost.

Absecon, New Jersey - The Ship House "Absecon - The Ship House," now a long time antique store. Beware -- the owner will attempt to talk your ear off , but well worth the trip inside. Was originally a "summer fun place" with small roadside cabins -- only one left standing -- and miniature golf. Located in Absecon, NJ. Open all year long - just about every day.
