The real question: how much renown are those boats worth?
I don't know, I couldn't find a listing for "Paddlewheeler" in the GWX Renown Chart.

Seriously, though, Tall Stacks is pretty cool.

@privateer:

Would you believe, in all these years I have never been to the Ren Festival. And there's something-something-and-pottery! It's like you've won the lottery!

Not really a naval attraction but there's also the museum at Wright-Patt outside of Dayton. Never been there either! Okay, I take that back, I think we may have done a very quick run-through when I was very young, because somehow I can remember being with my aunt and uncle (who live in Greenville) and seeing a lot of aerospace type stuff and I can't imagine where else that would've been.

Or maybe my aunt and uncle went and just showed me pictures.

Anyhoodle... yeah, it might be nice to meet up somewhere fairly local and hang out.

That is one killer thing you MUST spend at lest one day at!!
We drive all the way down there just to have that fun!!
Don't believe what they tell you on TV or the Radio.
It's MUCH better!!

I'll see if I can get some pictures of my one and only Stage appearance there.

Too poor to travel? I don't think you count as local to Ohio so are therefore not invited by default. Unless you become rich, and can make it to Ohio... Would you want to, should be the question, although this Ren Festival thing does have Queen Elizabeth (the original, I'm guessing, not the current monarch II, nor the ocean liner). So let's sum it up if it is worth it -

QE + Privateer + Nancy - Jim - TarJak - McBee + FK + Gimpy - Steve + 1480 - me - any water = x

x = ?

Answers on a postcard to the usual address, please, folks.
