Located on Sycamore Island 9.3 mile north of Pittsburgh PA on the Allegheny River. The barge was placed here as a fueling platform. " The Harbor Isle Boat Club was in existence on the island during the late 1960s, but were later abandoned leaving behind several significant features; including a barge that remains embedded in the sand at the island’s southern tip."
