How about removing the propellers?

Props are above the bottom of the hull. Yes, they create a lot of drag when pulling/towing the ship, but that's not what's hitting the bottom.

And, even if the propellers ARE touching the bottom (stupid MSM writers) then the hull is not only "touching" but stuck firmly in about 4-6 feet of mud.

Heck, just pumping the bilge dry might do the trick.

That was my first thought (remove the propellers). Why does this museum-ship still have propellers (screws), anyway? Without engines they are ornamental, and they are below the waterline. I guess nobody wanted to pay to remove them.

They tried, but they're held on by right wing nuts.

Uh, Democrats are in charge of the move. They don't think logical ;-)
