WOW! UP FOR AUCTION TODAY IS A VERY RARE PIECE OF THE HULL TAKEN FROM THE HULL OF THE U. S. S. YORKTOWN CV-10. THE YORKTOWN IS ALSO KNOWN AS "THE FIGHTING LADY". THIS IS A RARE HISTORICAL AUCTION YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE A PIECE CUT FROM THE YORKTOWN SO THIS IS A VERY, VERY RARE CHANCE TO OWN A GREAT AND WONDERFUL PIECE OF HISTORY FROM THE "FIGHTING LADY" THE U.S.S. YORKTOWN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. This very unique piece of the Yorktown hull measures 3 inches by 3 inches by 1 inch in thickness and is heavy weighing 5 pounds. This is a piece of the hull that was cut out to make a handicap(wheelchair) lift. T was no wheelchair lift so Patriots Point Maritime Museum (w the Yorktown is in permanent docking) decided that one had to be installed for a big Medal Of Honor gala and dinner. This required that they cut out a small section of the hull to accommodate a place for the lift to go. We were able to get pieces of the hull from this historical and beautiful aircraft carrier. The lift is being installed so that handicapped people would be able to attend and go on board to the flight deck of the Yorktown . In May t will be a big ceremony for the reopening of the Medal Of Honor museum on board the Yorktown . The museum has been enlarged and redone. This will be a big affair in Charleston . Brian Williams (who is the nightly news anchor for NBC national news) is going to be and will be doing a live broadcast from the Yorktown that night on the nightly news. He will also be the keynote speaker at the dinner and gala. The honored guests of record will be the Medal Of Honor recipients and a large number are expected to attend. The gala will be on May 23 and is a black tie event with Brian serving as emcee. In what's to be a Charleston first, the NBC Nightly News will originate from the Yorktown that evening. IF YOU WANT A PIECE OF HISTORY THEN THIS PIECE OF THE U. S. S. YORKTOWN'S HULL IS IT. NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU GET THIS CHANCE. T IS A REALLY NICE WHITE LABEL FROM THE MUSEUM THAT SHOWS ITS AUTHENTICITY. THE LABEL HAS A PICTURE OF THE YORKTOWN AND THE FOLLOWING WORDING ON IT. STEEL FROM THE HULL OF THE "THE FIGHTING LADY" U. S. S.
