The USS Orleck was supposed to move to its new home Friday, but that’s not happening.
It was a year ago this week that the USS Orleck moved downtown in front of the Hyatt Regency and there’s always been some controversy over the location.
According to the head of the Orleck Museum Dan Bean. A volunteer group has been working on the site but now Bean said the tides Friday morning won’t work for towing the huge ship but added that everything else is ready to go at least for now. Over 35,000 people have toured the USS Orleck and on Wednesday afternoon there were visitors like Robert Noyes.The Orleck volunteers are hoping the visitors will continue to visit at the new location, but its not going to happen right away. It could take a week or two to finish getting it ready to reopen and when it does there’s not a lot in the surrounding area to attract people.
