| Deck Replacement Starting this fall The new deck wood started to be replaced. The museum manager has been coordinating volunteers to start the deck replacement. The old fir has fallen apart and will be replaced with Brazilian Purple Heart, a wood very much like teak. It is grown in commercial forest and does not deplete the natural wood of Brazil. It ages to a brown color - and will look like the orginial teak. The Foundation will be suppling the needed hardware and any special tools. Our next step is to get the funds needed to paint the boat. Remember Lost Boats! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Capital Funds Drives The Batfish Memorial Foundation is in the formative stages of kicking off out "Paint the Gray Lady" capital funds drives for 2007 - 2008. This drive will be to collect funds for the sand blasting and painting of the USS Batfish. This will be a costly endevor, but is needed to be accomplished as soon as posssible. Sand blasting and painting are very involved and will require the use of a professional company along with many volunteer hours. |
New Summer Hours From March 15 to Ocgtober 16 the memorial will be open 10 - 6 pm Wednesday through Saturday and 1- 6 pm on Sunday and will be closed Monday and Tuesaday. Weather permitting. The USS Batfish is open year around starting fall 2007. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
