    And it was stripped inside, basically just a shell and bare decks. The cost to make it a useful venue of any kind was astronomical. It's sad.

    I'm worried about the NS Savannah. It is a nuclear powered civilian vessel, combination cargo and passengers, built under Eisenhower's Atoms for Peace effort. The reactor has been removed, and she's docked in Baltimore. The caretakers are desperately looking for a place to take her as a museum ship. (I did the tour a year or two ago, it's really interesting.)

    Yeah and right next to one of the few remaining Liberty Ships, the SS John W Brown.

    When we visited the Savannah, the Dali (the ship that hit the Key Bridge and triggered its collapse) was anchored at the dock next to it. So I got a few pictures of that. And the missing bridge. :(
