I'm surprised it hasn't been brought inland and converted to a casino.

My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek, although that's maybe the only way to finance a restoration of that magnitude. Sad, but true.

I used to work for Moran towing in Philly (tug boats) passed it almost every day, always takes my breath away. She can only be taken out to sea on a Moon Low tide to get under the Walt Whitman. Huge ship though, and all the rat stops came off the ropes. Who knows whats living on that ship right now.

What's a 'rat stop'??

[StriperSS]

A 'rat stop' is a disc that is fitted to the cables or ropes that hold a ship to the dock. It prevents rats from entering or leaving a ship by tightrope walking.
