USS Ticonderoga Lies Falling Apart in a New York Shed

From the Dec. 30, 2012, Fox News.

Whitehall Village in New York State bills itself as the Birthplace of the U.S. Navy, but, they haven't done much to preserve one of the Navy's oldest warship relics, the hull of the schooner USS Ticonderoga, the first of many ships to have that name.

It was raised back in the 1950s, before much was known of sunken ship preservation. It is still stored in an open-sided shed on the grounds of the Skenesborough Museum. 

There is a movement to improve the ship's condition as we approach the 200th anniversary of its sinking.

I'll definitely be doing more research on it as I had never heard of it before.

Save the Ticonderoga.  --Brock-Perry
