<div><font size="3">I think it must be, but I can't be absolutely
sure. It's hard to imagine that anyone made another one like Doug's
version. It really ought to be in a museum or inside a seafood
restaurant looking as it did when Doug built
it.</font></div></font><br></blockquote>When Doug was trying to get rid of it,
he let me call some museums. I'm in Virginia, so I started here. I
have the Marine Resources Commission, the Science Museum of Virginia, and the
Mariners' Museum. The Science Museum has <i>Aluminaut</i>, and in that
display they have a photo Richard Reynolds and Simon Lake together as they
examine a model of <i>Aluminaut.</i> The museum in Paterson NJ, holding
John Holland's work, refused it, as did the Carnagie Science Museum in
Pittsburgh (which has the Guppy sub <i>Requin</i> on display). All of
them refused to pay for shipping the boat, even when they were made aware that
the boat itself would cost nothing. <br><br>Museum officials never like to
spend money. It was obvious to me that the "directors" with whom I spoke
lack the authority to make any significant decisions, but the worst part was
that they lacked the curiosity to ask questions.<br><br><br>M<br><br><br>
