Staten Island Ferry that killed 11 in 2003 crash up for auction — as city makes tone-deaf joke bid to Pete Davidson, Colin Jost

Paging the celebrity captains of bad ideas.

A storied Staten Island ferry that infamously crashed in 2003, killing 11 people, went up for auction this week — in case comedians Pete Davidson and Colin Jost want a possibly haunted second one.

The city set the opening bid for the decommissioned Andrew J. Barberi ferry at $155,000 — touting it with a nod to the former “Saturday Night Live” co-stars, who bought a similar ferry with the goal of turning it into a party boat two years ago.

“another staten island ferry up for auction…should pete and colin each have their own?” the city’s Department of Transportation tweeted Thursday.

An ad for the bright orange, 310-foot vessel declares the “double-ended passenger ferry” was built in 1981 and boasts a “hull in good condition.”

But the ferry also comes with a boatload of baggage, including that it “does not run under its own power” — and has endured at least two major crashes.

On Oct. 15, 2003, the ferry hit a pier on Staten Island and killed 11 people, including one person who was decapitated. A total of 70 people were injured, and one man lost his legs.

The assistant pilot was later found to have been “incapacitated” due to illegal use of prescription painkillers and pleaded guilty to 11 counts of seaman’s manslaughter.

The ferry, which was decommissioned last year, also smashed into the Staten Island Terminal on May 8, 2010, injuring 37 people.

The ferry ad also notes its “mechanical, propulsion and navigation has been removed,” and it would have to be “towed from our pier.”

“Only bid on item(s) that you are serious about buying,” it proclaims.

But as of Thursday nobody had bid on it.

In January 2022 Davidson and Jost — Staten Island-bred real-life pals — bought the 60-year-old decommissioned John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry for $280,000.

They later gave the ferry the ill-fated name “Titanic 2” as a joke that made insurance agents do double-takes.

“This is why idiots should not be allowed to do things,” Jost quipped on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in October 2022.

Reps for Jost and Davidson didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s inquiry about whether they planned to plunk down cash for a second ferry — or if that ship has sailed.
