The boat is part of the Muskogee War Memorial Park, which is owned and run by the city of Muskogee, OK. Based on her current condition, it doesn't seem like the city puts a lot of money into her.
They do have a grant writer that is slowly learning the ropes, if I understood correctly. In years past that have tried applying for a grant from the History Channel's Save Our History Foundation, but they didn't quite qualify because of the boat's ownership and tax code status. However, I have contacted THC recently to get the whole scoop on that.
