Description
How the crew lived.
Protected cruiser USS Olympia (C-6) was built in 1895 and served until 1922. The high point of her career came in 1898 when the then-modern cruiser was Admiral Dewey's flagship at the Battle of Manila Bay. One of her last duties was returning the body of the United States' Unknown Soldier in 1921. Today she is part of Independence Seaport in Philadelphia and in dire need of a drydocking which they cannot afford. Olympia has not been drydocked in 70 years and may eventually sink in place if nothing is done. When I visited only two decks were open because the weather deck and superstructure where closed for renovations.
