BIG BUMMER!.... however, as I understand it, she was undergoing a huge restoration at the time. She was pretty well gutted to begin with. The rig was out and all the artifacts removed. She had maybe the world's greatest collection of figureheads aboard when I visited her ten years ago. I expect all that was removed while they were rebuilding her.

Thought I'd post this here too.

Read this portion to see the value of having a model aboard.
