Go see this ship!

It is one of the biggest and tallest we have this weekend, and the line was very short when I boarded it around 6:30 this evening.

It's a German ship that was seized by the Allies in World War II. The sign outside says that the US sold it to Brazil for $5,000, which wasn't a lot of money even in 1946. Brazil later sold it to Portugal, whose navy now owns it.
