I think Fresno should come up with an offer.

You should come up with an offer.

I propose a special FreeRepublic Fund Drive to finance the bid.

The Army Corp of Engineers will have to figure a way to move the ship inland to Fresno of course.

No problem. Just put wheels under her keel, and we'll tow it up hiway 5 behind the mighty FReepmobile:

Heck, the San Joaquin River was navigable to Fresno by steamships before Millerton Dam backed her up. All we have to do is a massive release of Millerton dam and tow the Iowa on up. Would look great at Riverpark.
