      It's really hard to believe that the bronze rudder cleat has not walked away.

        Sorry about that. My auto signature didn't seem to work.
        Does it have an expiration date?

          Is there any plans to preserve the ship?

            I don't want to necessarily be a wet blanket, but I also read that while some claimed that this ship was a blockade runner, it was also claimed that this ship actually went down in the 1930's and that this isn't the first time this ship had surfaced after a storm.

            I don't know either way, but intriguing at any road.
