PS I've been doing a little Googling and am amazed to learn that the HMS Caroline (as well as the USS Olympia!) may end up in the scrap heap after all.

Its incredible to me that while we can't preserve too many reminders of the darker episodes in our society's past and find enough ways to memorialize labor organizers & bottom feeding politicians there are no funds available to preserve sole remaining examples of our past such as these ships.
