Preserving a piece of US Maritime History - invaluable

The USS Olympia is a cruiser that fought in the Spanish American War in 1898 and has been preserved in Philadelphia. She's a one of a kind ship, a national historic monument, and in danger. She needs approximately $10-15 million in repairs to keep her a viable museum for years to come. If you have the resources, or connections to those resources, please consider helping. (full disclosure - there is no financial benefit to me to ask the question - we need to save this ship for posterity). Please contact me at 612-599-1935 or bdskon@fedex.com if you have additional questions.

The Scoop Deck – Bush to make first-ever overseas deployment

The Scoop Deck – Bush to make first-ever overseas deployment

Wharf Rat attended the commissioning and is a plankowner (honorary).

Thrilled to see the newest carrier make her initial deployment. It will be a great photo op to see the oldest and newest together on deployment.
