    Didn't know if anyone had posted this or if anyone else has seen this.

    This is a ship that I have personally visited multiple times starting from when I was about 8 years old. It was impressive then and as I have grown it is still an impressive ship. If you ever have a chance to visit this amazing icon please do so. You will not regret it.

    This is their main home page. If you look in the ship's store you can even purchase a piece of original Teak decking. Definitely a piece of history that needs saving.

    Captain obvious,
    She's a great ship and with her standing watch over Enderprise in WW2 was probably the only reason she got saved :'(

    Whatever did it, it is great to see she was saved and being preserved still.

    Was just there a few weeks ago still very impressive, I would recommend visiting on a day that is not 90+ degrees with humidity though.
