USS Olympia in peril!

[jmoore]

Quick note:

Discovered that the world oldest steel warship may not be much longer for this world. Called the museum and they confirmed that they may not be able to continue past Sept. 2010.

Figured it won't hurt to get the word out- I'll throw some funds their way, and try to visit this summer.

Beautiful and historic ship, hate to lose her!
