If you don’t know the good folks at the Historic Naval Ships Association, they work to bring community to those who preserve naval history. Their “fleet” of 188 ships are on display in twelve nations and, in the U.S., 31 states–so it’s a neat little organization, and well worth joining. They do good work, and they certainly aren’t in it for the money.
Anyway, they were moved enough by my first “post-Austal” post on the poor condition of the ex-USS Hazard (AM-240) to republish it in the fall issue their quarterly newsletter, the AnchorWatch (.pdf).
