The Alabama in Mobile is pretty awesome too, and a lot younger so may not need major renovations as soon.

they need to hang a big ass ole Confederate from her upper decks and park her in the heartland of Dixie. she'll get all the attention she needs!They have completed fund raising for repairs. However, they don't know where she will end up, as the city that had her doesn't want her anymore. You folks from Texas need to work on that problem.
