I seem to recall from growing up in Charlestown in the late 70's and 80's, that dumping cars down in the "oilies" was a popular past time.

The tide must have carried that over from Eastie or Chelsea. Townies don't dump cars in Montego Bay.

vintage Boston right there - it took half the fire dept., police and coast guard to get the car out, with 75% of them standing there watching.
