Nice shots, too bad about the rust and decay. Thanks for posting.

She was on the bottom of the ocean for 40+ years.  ;)

If you go to the main museum page there are a few interesting videos on the boat and the museum exhibit.

As far as I know, they "forgot" or choose not to treat her right after raising - you have to extract the salt from the metal to prevent further corrosion.

Hope the guys working on raising the newly found XXIII do it better.

Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was: curiosity.
