It is a shame that this great ship will likely never get the chance to be revived and be the living history it deserves to be. She was the fastest ship across the Atlantic, but the amount of money required to upkeep an already rusted antique seems like a waste in a world with so many other problems. This is the type of stuff I wish eccentric billionaires would spend their money on. It will be a sad day when the ship is no longer looming on the pier, like some sort of ghost ship.
