Expansion

[edit]

I just expanded the article. There's still a lot of material to work with if someone wants to take it further. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 14:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Location

[edit]

@Epicgenius wanted to quickly chat about this edit. The museum isn't at 100 Old Slip (and thanks to @Shondalier's confirmation that the Governors Island location was 2017), isn't anywhere. Do you think there might be a better way to convey that it was there once but isn't now? The info is covered under Locations, but to me would be unclear to reader. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks!

@Star Mississippi, thanks for the ping. It's strange, since the museum's permanent location was supposed to be at 100 Old Slip, which was hit hard during Hurricane Sandy. The museum was supposed to be restored, but the most recent thing I could find anywhere was a passing mention in the Washington Post in 2019 (which is already in the article). Anyway, to answer your question, we should probably just say that 100 Old Slip was the last permanent location and that it has been closed indefinitely since October 2012. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:22, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's probably easiest @Epicgenius. From what I found when I was trying to do an update a couple of years ago, 100 Old Slip hasn't been restored but if/when it is, it's still the museum's to use. It unfortunately doesn't seem that there have been any published updates since then.
I'll take a stab at cleaning up locations and the subheadings to see if that helps. Star Mississippi 02:09, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
