    Efforts to Rehab Warships on Buffalo Waterfront

    But the patching can't correct all the problems so now more is needed. Diina says "An engineering study of what it will actually cost to repair it. A detailed study with divers and internal checks of the metallurgy would cost in the $40,000 to $50,000 dollar range. And that is a grant that Senator Grisanti is working on to support us with."

    I wonder if $40,000 to $50,000 could be crowd funded for the engineering study....

    so if they cant repair them the Navy will have to make those repairs so make them seaworthy to move them, so why not just have the navy do it.

    That is an interesting question.

    I wonder how much they charge to tour the boat. Maybe raise the ticket price a buck and put that towards repairs.

    They charge 10 bucks for adults. They might be losing a lot of revenue because they close around 5 every day. I would think between the hours of 5 and 9pm could be their busiest time.
