They ought to be matched at once!

I suppose that a proper solution like closing down ferry service for a few days to bolt the trash bins to the deck was just too costly?

Given the cost, it would probably be cheaper just to dismantle the current LB and use its salvageable parts (boiler, smokestack, paddle wheel, etc.) to build a new Liberty Belle II that actually has working rudder system and an enclosed dining room. Then put it at a new dock at the GF and have...
