Amazing piece of history

Im so happy the Texas went into dry dock just over a month ago

And that's why MuseumShips is here; To create awareness, and a better understanding of the diffculties faced by museum ships in general. Nothing lasts forever, but together we try to come close!

Was involved with a museum team trying to save the James Whalen icebreaking tug that you mention in this video. Sadly we were not able to get her in time although she has been raised at a cost of 800K earlier this month The work museum ship teams do to keep their ships afloat is nothing short of incredible. Great video.

Thanks for watching!

This gives me hope that these great ships can be saved.

I'm a tour guide at your sistership, New Jersey, but I'm also an engineering student at Drexel University. The more I work on the ship, the more I realize that I could use my engineering degree to help keep these ships afloat and around. I haven't decided on a career path, as I'm a few years away from graduating, but giving tours on New Jersey, I think I might have some idea on where I want to go. Well done and a fantastic video

Thanks for watching. Pay close attention to the problems and solutions New Jersey faces. Learn how to repair/maintain steel hull ships. A very lucrative and worthwhile career awaits you in the Merchant Marine! Have you considered California Maritime Academy?

@@kaviski1 No, like most college kids, I entered Drexel with one career idea, and it evolved and changed. I'm still unsure fully, but at least I have an option that I'd love to do, keep a tab on all doors and that. I'm determined to finish Drexel

Can not save them all. Pretty much every location acquired such ships out of emotion without a realistic and detailed projection of what such an undertaking entails.
