I know just about everyone I’ve talked to around the lakes, heck around the world, wants this ship to be retired as a museum because of her amazing history. But is there any actual organization or anything in place to actually make that happen? As much as we’d like her to keep sailing indefinitely, she’s getting old. From the sound of things she came incredibly close to being scrapped in 2019, and despite significant money going into the ship since then she’s still looking pretty rough this year, obvious steel warping and other signs of possible trouble. Her 5 year inspection is coming at the end of this season and it seems like there’s significant risk this might be her final year. If that proves to be the case, is there anything in place to prevent her from going to the scrapyards?
