I'll be going to see here when she gets to Mobile. I agree that it is sad for such a great ship.

Sad but still to be in existence in shallow water able to be visited. Unlike other distinguished vessels lying in deeper water, broken and rusting. Or dismembered by the cutters torch. Not enough money exists to bring back a long gone age so this was the only next-best option. I'd rather have it end like this instead of in a scrapyard. Previous Message
So sad and so symbolic as this nation. Did you know that all 48 states contributed to the building of the ship?
I’ve seen her many times, since I first saw her in 1991 at Norfolk VA. She’s been a staple on Delaware ave since the mid90s .
So sad. Previous Message
Is “underway” in the Delaware River.

“We shall build good ships here; at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always good ships”
