Interesting since the Annapolis sinking has bounced around quite a bit from Canada to SoCal.

It will go down in howe sound. The powers that be have been much better communicating with annapolis volunteeers. The liens on the ship, in the courts, is between the people who count, and who want to sink her in howe sound. If you think it can be towed south to california, good luck, all the ballast is gone, she's riding high in the water.

The SoCal thing was just a fishing expedition on their part.

Although we had heard there was a chance that it could come to SoCal, please understand that I'm happy to have it go down in an area where the people who did the work on her are.
