    Save USS Olympia
    From: Frank Reed
    Date: 2010 Sep 12, 14:55 -0700

    A month or two ago, there was a message posted to the 'Sextants' list suggesting donations to save USS Olympia. I wanted to add my voice to that. I'm not going to suggest where you should send any money, but do some research on this vessel. Start with Wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Olympia_(C-6)

    I think you'll be impressed by its history. USS Olympia is really unique --the only survivor from the era just before the development of the 20th century battleships. There is a real risk that no money will be found to save it, and if that happens it will likely be sunk and turned into an artificial reef. That would be a shame... I should add that a significant reason for the poverty of the museum that has custody of this old warship is bureaucratic mis-management, fraud, corruption, and theft. The former president is currently in prison.
