DBF but in a preservation sort of way. Maritime historian and museum ship professional. Views my own.
At least Navy won. ⚓️

Looks like a trio of Adams class. I think I can make out a 3 on the closest one, so maybe the John King?

Do you have any additional information- location, date, etc?

The pirate is not gone but it is also not currently mounted to the stack. He needs a little restoration too.

There’s levee for that. I’ve been told the Mississippi rarely floods. It’s when storms sit over top of us and overwhelm the drainage systems that flooding happens.

The wetter the winter the sooner we get her home. If there’s enough snow and the river comes up in February, that would be nice.

There is still work to do on the home front let alone the need to just keep the lights on. Donations go a long way in helping us make it to the springtime for Kidd’s return.

There’s still plenty to paint back at the museum 😅

Keep in mind she’s still not due back to BR until the spring.
