Beautiful. It seems to me they should make a replica for the museum.

This is the replica, on the left.

I do find it hard to believe that if the ship is in that poor of a condition it's displayed in the open air. Maybe it needs to be in some kind of ultra controlled environment enclosure.

I have to agree; why can't they just put a replica in the downtown museum? Let's face it, most tourists won't know the difference or care. And those few who really want to see the original will probably make the trip out to the "remote" peninsula (which sounds like it is only 3 miles away, fer pete's sake!).

Gorgeous ships though. What beautiful, elegant lines.
