Another contrast, a positive one, is what the Mystic Seaport Museum here in the States is doing with their classic whaling ship the Charles W. Morgan. She was built way back in the 1840's and last year they hauled her out, propped her up, and are doing a major rebuild of the hull. And the plan is to actually sail her when the job's complete. Now that's vision!

Here's a link to an image of the Charles W. Morgan:
