Frisco didn't come up with the money to house her. She'll go to the breakers I think.

Speaking of "going home", some people wanted the Missouri in St. Louis. That's one thousand miles from New Orleans.

And even if we trimmed her down to the armored bits there are at least twenty bridges that would have to come down. :bored:
