Following your link, it seems like this Kenneth Carver fellow owns nearly the lot of them:

Four of those were built by Marinette Marine (from Googling their hull numbers), but one is larger and aluminium, whereas three are steel (two of the smaller steel landing craft missing, sunk, or sold to salvage?):

Not finding any references for "Crockett California Ghost Ship" etc, but it's interesting to find out that this is one person's private boat graveyard for Marinette Marine ships.

Also, semi-related, and not far away:
