all the asbestos is gone! It's pretty much empty inside. I got to tour it a few years back.

A few years back the Young Friends of the Preservation Alliance hosted a tour as part of the Rust Belt Takeover conference! There is a caretaker who lives on the ship (or was then at least). Most of the ship is totally empty, but it’s still incredible to see the scale. One propeller sits on the stern deck. We also got to go up in the crows nest!

If you donate $200 they'll give you a tour, it's crazy how empty it is now that all the fixtures are gone
