To gaz
I would suspect that with the recent high prices being paid for scrap that she is gone.
I had her pined in Google Earth and now she isn't there.
Also, I saw recent photos of the graveyard in another post and there was a alot of rusted metal on land the looked like it was being reduced for shipment. In addition, it appeared that there was less of a mess about the place,
and what remained appeared to be the wooden ships.
In some ways, it's a relief not to see her in such a decayed condition anymore.
It's sad that in the U.S. we remove the dignity from anything we perceive as old as opposed to honoring it as they do in Europe.
Or at least give it the dignity of getting it over with instead of letting it rot away bit by bit.
Weather the condition of this ship, as pictured above, or the current financial mess we're in, both have a root cause of lack of respect.
I don't know what happened to this country or how we got where we are, but I do know that until we figure it out and get back to where we once were, as in the Hewitt's active days, this country will never have the glory it once had.

We have met the enemy
And it is US.
