I don't know most of these folks, but they're the ones who have been caring for the boat during its stay with Xanterra, and former crew members are taking this as very good news. There are several active threads about it at the moment.

I wish them good luck. One thing I have come to understand is that historic ship restoration and operation is about 100 times more difficult than on the railroad.
