The
Rochester to See Cruiser Model At Museum Visit
Rochester's museum seeks a Navy loan of the Joan of the model flying the city name. If Congress raises no objection, the 16 plus foot replica may tour the Rochester Museum of Arts and Sciences for about 10 months starting around September 1. The Annapolis craft, valued at 15 000 to 20 000 dollars, mirrors the real ship but ends at the waterline. Navy Secretary Dan Kimball has alerted Congress, and the loan will proceed unless a prohibitive resolution is filed within 30 days.
