Really Don?
Try the S,S, Jeremiah O'Brien 😉 https://www.ssjeremiahobrien.org
There is one on each coast. Indeed each of these ships struggles, because they are now approaching 80 years old, and a ship build in 7 days was never designed to last that long. Not to mention ANY ship requires significant ongoing investment (def of "boat"
- "a hole into the water into which you pour money")
So no, no east/west bias to be seen here.

What a shame to cut up the Liberty Ships. I gather there was no interest on the Left Coast to restore one
as has been done on the East Coast with the John W. Brown out of Baltimore on which crusies are offered or
even just tours such as on the DDE USS Slater in Albany, NY or the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge, LA. IIRC there
is also a WW II flat top in NYC.
Cordially, Don Valentine
