Loved the one in Kansas City! There are some great, thematically-similar museums in other countries as well, if you ever find yourself there:
- the Vasa in Stockholm, Sweden is a ship dredged from the harbor and stabilized, sank in 1628
- the Mary Rose in Portsmouth, England is a Tudor ship that sank in 1545 that was raised and stabilized
In both cases a ton of work was done to stabilize and preserve the remains of the ships that is, imo, almost more interesting than the ship itself.
