LST 1153 aka "Arem 1" Used As A Barge 1978

            In the 1970's, several decommissioned LSTs tied up at this unofficial port area adjacent to Biscayne Boulevard near 6th Street. Their engines had been removed and they were delivered by ocean going tugs, like barges.  Generally, their cargo was vehicles.  TMT  lines  operated on the large pad.  They brought in multi.-level barges and relocated when this area was cleared for development. At top left, a viewer pointed out, the Goodyear Blimp landing site can be identified by it's distinctive blue sign.
Supposedly, this LST was sent for scrapping in 1974, so why was it here in 1978?
