Huh? The thing looked like a floating bomb. The water cops did the
right thing.

A floating bomb?

Yes.

It is truely a shame that NEITHER the Coasties, or NYPD's Police
Harbor Unit recognized the historical replica for what it was! A
HISTORICAL REPLICA OF THE TURTLE! Of course I guess you would have to
be interested in 1. The birth of our nation. 2. Our naval history. 3
History in general. It is true, those that do NOT learn from the past
are doomed to repeat it. The last time this happened It was christened
by Connecticut's governor, Ella Grasso. Oh welll. The only mistake
Philip "Duke" Riley did was not alert the news of his intensions, and
acquire the positive publicity. I agree that if I was responsible for
security of the QM2 I would light off too. Again with the proper intro
this could have been a very positive experience. (except for the
drowning of the pilot)
