<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 48206, member: 78&quot;]Hi Milt,</p><p>&nbsp; I used to visit the Olympia a lot when I lived in Philly. Two years ago they were trying to raise 2 million for her restoration or she would be scrapped since</p><p>it was so rusted the Navy thought she would sink and cause problems with the waterway. Baltimore has a WWll sub, the USS Torsk. I was on her for 6mos before she was retired. I was planning on taking my nephews to go see her but</p><p>I just might take them to Philly instead and show them the Becuna. A lot shorter trip. Congratulations on your model. My church in Brooklyn had 4 WWl wooden ship models hanging as memorials. Three of them were stolen and the fourth was so damaged in the fall that they left it. The NYC Seaport museum repaired and restored the ship at no cost if the church let them make other models and sell them.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
