@BeschlossDC rust is street-cred for a yacht named Williamsburg, fwiw
@BeschlossDC @jonkarl That's the saddest thing I've seen in a very long time. Somebody with too much money should restore it b/c history.
@BeschlossDC I got a chance to visit it in Norfolk right before it got moved overseas. You can tell it used to be something special...
@BeschlossDC That's terrible!
.@BeschlossDC @ZekeJMiller I think that should be bought back and restored and moored here for antiquity. I got a $1...anyone else?
@BeschlossDC Wow! This ship used to be docked in my hometown of Salem,NJ! Sorry 2 see this happening to it now!
@beschlossdc Lloyds Yacht and Ship has it listed at $11.5 million. One renovation estimate for the 83-year-old craft was $43.5 million.
@BeschlossDC why is it in Italy?
@BeschlossDC no yacht since, huh? And only Truman? Seems like an FDR dream ...
@BeschlossDC :-(. Seems there must be some way to get it back and restored. We don't take care of our heritage in the States.
@BeschlossDC Is this still property of the US Govt/Office of the President/etc? Just seems incredibly odd...
@robertclamb @beschlossdc That's what I was wondering. David?
