I was just there this past weekend with my friend. Incredible machine, great to see her after all the scares of leaks/lack of funds. We drove from FL to see her and were happy to drop some donations in their 14inch round on deck, along with some good gift shop purchases. I hope they can save this ship - they were doing a lot of restoration on the whaleboats and fore/aft deck as well.
Not to steal the thread, just a few shots from the iPhone this weekend. Awesome experience! Hard had would be COOL to do, though we couldn't make it. Unfortunately they have the third deck and engine room closed off (except for hard hat tours).
