As Near as I can figure, the "Brennan" was shut down in 1993, and vandalized 
for the copper a year later.  It had been running on 10 KW for a while due 
to  some power supply problems.  It always did have problems with the plate 
transformers (3) parasitic from the Florida power and light 4160 would blow 
out individual transformers.  Probably from the drawbridge motors on Doctors 
Inlet.
