It is NOT ABANDONED. You shall not board the ship. It is fine as long you paddle around quietly but the land around the ship is not a park it's like your backyard. Please respect the owner who do not want visitors violating the property ! For further history and informations about the ship please see http://www.the-sachem-project.org. I speak on behalf of a group whose intention is to preserve the Sachem for a later (awaited) restoration.<br />Thanks,.

The ships wartime captain is still alive and the helmsman lives near Cincinnati. The marine engineers say there is enough info to build a computer model from her drawings to patch and refloat her, most likely to barge as a temporary drydock as old boat flippers do. I didn't get a reply back from the owner. The phone number is on the side of the ship.

If you are planning to do this you should probably talk to them for permission first, also because it's moored to private property. They have unsuccessfully thus far tried to get money for repairs through the Raise the Sachem campaign and don't have a project lead at present due being busy with other stuff like art. They have the artifacts rescued from the ship, BTW, NavSource has updated her history since they have gotten a recent update. Also, be respectful, she's over a 100 years old and has served as a warship in three wars and is only off the reserve warship list because they thought she had been cut up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638048225207139415.post-87450915446775357392014-09-03T12:10:48.271-04:002014-09-03T12:10:48.271-04:00Tanner's Creek boat ramp in Lawrenceburg, Indi...Tanner's Creek boat ramp in Lawrenceburg, Indiana....Put in at the ramp and then paddle out to the Ohio River.
