We wound up at Green Cove Springs after 2,700 miles and 30 days. After sandblasting layer after layer of paint from the outside shell of the ship, It was discovered that she had quite a few dents and dimples. Most of them were repaired, but to honor the history of the ship, a few were left towards the bow. She's earned those dings and dangs and even though she's freshly painted in the finest marine finish, she still proudly wears the badge of all her hard work. The most interesting fact discovered in researching her history, was the ship we now call the Romance has never sustained a serious accident or loss of life.
Ships increase in value as they age due in great measure to their magnificent histories.
