Falls of Clyde

So the last time I looked it was still sitting on the dock at Aloha Tower. Anybody know why it's still there?

The Friends of the Falls of Clyde are trying to save it. How it is going.....

Where else should it be?

Thanks for the link CaptFlyingDutchman! Looks like they are making some kind of progress.

Where else should it be?

Well, when the Friends of the Falls of Clyde purchased it, it was supposed to be moved. They took off the masts and removed the figurehead. There were then talks about them not being able to restore her and was to be sunk. But they think she is not seaworthy enough to leave the harbor.....Just wondered if there was an update.

I think it's a museum piece now...isn't it?

 

[justleesa]

The museum has been closed for some time and you haven't been able to go on the ship for years Because they (museum/State) couldn't afford to fix it they sold it to the Friends for 1$, maybe 3 or so years ago...

If it sits there much longer we'll be doing intro wreck dives in Honolulu Harbor...... Gordon Biersch for logbooks, pints and grinds post-dive. Who's coming with me!

That would be good for wreck "dry runs." You can penetrate the wreck and still be able to talk to your students. And since you're not really diving, who's to say you can't have a pint with you while you do the training. haha.

The bar with the "better view" would be my choice.
