Here's a quick overview of what we envision...

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
A land based educational and activities center, picnic area, shops, modern hotel with restaurant, and of course the centerpiece, the USS Forrestal, restored to all her splendor.

|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Approximately $10-12 million for relocation, restoration, and berthing pier improvements. Financed through community contributions and revenue bonds. Some economic development grants and financing.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Various tour options, Group and family plans, special discounts for military, youth, and seniors will make a visit to the Forrestal complex affordable and competitive with other Baltimore attractions. Multi destination promotions will also be featured.

Convenient location within minutes of the Baltimore Inner Harbor, in the vicinity of Ft McHenry, home of the Star Spangled Banner. Just off Interstate I95 with easy on/off ramps already in place.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Because the Forrestal is in such good condition we estimate that some areas of the ship could be ready for visitors as early as three months after its arrival in Baltimore.
