Perth Amboy, N.J., March 21, 2013 -- At the Perth Amboy Marina, one of the catwalks was ripped from its base by Hurricane Sandy and dropped into the protected area behind the bulkhead during the storm.  During the debris removal process a scuba diver affixes ropes and chains to the article to be retrieved and it is pulled from the water by a crane.  The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is an applicant in one of FEMA's Public Assistance programs which may provide federal funding for a portion of the clean-up cost.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
