They came up with a new kind of epoxy that was able to repair the waterline rust/corrosion which was/is very effective. The ship no longer sinks at high tide.
The engine rooms were restored during the 2010s, along with the epoxy hull repairs.
I haven't been connected to the museum which maintains her since 2020, and Jesse left before then. Previous Message
Question:
How much of the USS Olympia is original and how much is from conservation/restoration?
