This is a true story of how an individual had a dream, and made that dream come true -- by saving a U.S. Navy decommissioned WWII aircraft carrier and converting her into a Memorial Museum--which later became a National Monument in New York City.

Read the ups and downs, the joys, the heartaches the disappointments, the conspiracy, the over throw of corporations by the insidious few in a takeover struggle of the museum concept. And finally, after eight exhaustive years, see that individual's dream taken from him without any recognition whatsoever, for this wonderful museum by the all powerful few.

"A fascinating study of the history of the aircraft carrier.  I recommend this book for any history buff and for students. The pictures, letters and diagrams really bring this story to life." ~Lori Soard, author of The Elixir.
