#1 Noooo!

Oh, wait. Ship. Not cut-rate Scotch.

Nevermind.

#2 I fell in love with that ship when I read a biography of the builder (whose name is on the tip of my tongue) McKay! That's it. Daniel or David. I built the 3ft Revell model when I was about nine or ten (which my younger brother promptly rolled over with his new Walker Bulldog Tank model).

In '95 I saw her for the first time in person and she was just as beautiful as her pictures showed her to be.

Her motto should be an inspiration to us all:

"Where there's a Will is a way"

I am sure they will restore her as there is plenty of will.

Kinda like our country you know?
