she was saved on july 1st so when i saw it over thanksgiving break it was being repainted

[bigshipfilms]

@gemmyfreak2871 Not sure what activity you might have seen aboard the ship at Thanksgiving, but she is not currently being repainted, nor is she technically saved. She has a 20 month "stay of execution," now more than ever those who wish to see her permanently saved should get involved in the ongoing effort. Just wanted to clarify.

Great Video!

Somebody Save Her!!

PAINT HER FUNNELS - that way people passing her will see a glimmer of what once was, and what could be again...

Too bad the money wasted on Solyndra didn't go towards this great ship instead. $535 million would have had this national treasure running at 45 knots once again.

Very well put together video, I love how it flips back and forth between what she once was and her current state.

In light of the America's Cup coming to San Francisco, why not bring her here? The Port of San Francisco would be an ideal harbor - either as museum, hotel or restaurant - or still in active use for South America excursions. I've actually contacted the newly elected mayor of our city about this, just yesterday - and awaiting response.

@marieprewett O.o Whatever you say.

[marieprewett]

@localfive0 You may be correct but this thread is not hte place for political discussion.

[localfive0]

@marieprewett I'll speculate that you're either Republican, or racist.

[marieprewett]

@localfive0 I'll speculate that it's so he can say that he got him and Bush didn't.

@marieprewett If Obama was anti-American pride as you say he is, why did he order Osama Bin Laden's execution?

Were there records kept of who bought what when all her fittings were auctioned off in 1984? I'm wondering if it's possible to track down one of theose Steinway Pianos...
