I visited the Queen Mary last month and you wonder if they could restore and preserve this ship in the same manner (hotel and restaurant and tours).

Trump's campaign slogan is "Make America Great Again!". The ship can be the symbol of the campaign: a record holding great ship, the S.S. United States, that the corrupt and incompetent Rats can't be bothered to save. Quite literally, it is THE ship of state!

Spend enough money, of course they could restore it. But it would be a LOT of money. That ship was pretty much stripped to the bulkheads during asbestos removal in the 1990s.

The Queen Mary has been a financial disaster for the City of Long Beach. They’ve gone through several management companies, all without success. If Long Beach didn’t stick its reputation on the QM in the 1960s and 1970s the ship would have been sent to the reefs long ago.

You are lucky the ship didn’t capsize during your visit.
