Yet Another Historic Ship Destined For the Scrapyard

USS Williamsburg, once a presidential yacht used by Harry Truman, now sits quietly rusting in an Italian shipyard.

She's a pretty thing:



At a cost of $55M to spiff her back up, though, there won't be too many willing to take on the project. A shame.

  1. Sad. Sadder yet that she was allowed to get so bad over the years.

  2. The SS United States is rusting away in PA as well. Sad too.
