With all Donnie was going through I thought a little humor might help him out

I am lucky enough that I live in Beverly Mass. Founding Home of the U.S. Navy. I grew up in North Cambridge, Ma.
The Constitution has always been near me, except for my four and a half years upon a DD out of San Diego, Calf.
Today she is a sad site to see. The Ship was had her masts being rebuilt. They finish one mast and they start another.
Rot is the big problem. She has not been fully rigged since about 2020. They hope to have Her fully rigged for 2026.
I think it's a long shot. They just do not have enough shipwrights to do the job.
Lets hope for the best!
Then they have to set the 2032 rebuild. That will include a number of Ribs that have to be replaced. that will be about 3 years
in the dry dock in the Charlestown Navy Yard. God knows what that will entail?
I hope I can see that dry dock period.
By the way, I volunteered in the Model Shop of the Constitution Museum
