I would like to see this historic ship. Do you think there any chance it will be possible to do so next year, or is the end pretty well certain in November?

It doesn't look good at the moment. As you probably know, November 22 is slated to be its last day open to the public before it's towed out to sea and sunk. Unless someone comes up with some very big bucks before that, it seems to be a goner.

When I think of all the things the government has wasted money on... it would have been pocket change to keep this thing alive. Makes me sad... but its what happens to every other ship thats served its purpose, so I guess it was somewhat of an inevitability.
