Bumping this with a local ship that could've been saved if only people had cared enough to do so. The SS Wampa. Built in 1915, she was the last of the 200+ wooden steam schooners that once served the Pacific Coast's lumber trade.
Withdrawn from service in 1948, she was bought by a group of enthusiasts and saw a second life as museum ship during the 1950s and 1960s but was cut short after significant deterioration rendered her a hazard. The ship was laid up in drydock in Richmond, California pending repairs that never took place. By the 2010s, the ship had more or less rotted beyond repair and surrounding Richmond itself had degenerated into a blighted shithole, overrun with savage subhuman niggers who would sooner huff the paint off the hull for a quick high than treat it with anything resembling respect so naturally, no one was interested in paying for its upkeep, let alone restoring it.
Wampa was dismantled by the National Park Service in 2013 to little fanfare.
