>>...I'd sure give anything to be there to see it<<
No, this is one sight I would not be too keen to travel back in time to. What's left of her is like a carcase. To me, there is something quite indecent about such an image. I think I would much rather have seen her in her prime! However, this has just reminded me of the time at the end of October, 2005, when I was crossing the Forth Road Bridge on a return trip from Edinburgh. I looked across to Rosyth, and my immediate thought was that were I to have been there 70 years ago that day, there would have been a sight that a lover of fine ships would have found hard to stomach.
