USS Hornet Museum

People started telling stories from day one when they started chipping paint after being, I think, 30 years abandoned.

That's Laura Thees, the executive director of the USS Hornet Museum, or if you prefer its full name...

USS Hornet Sea, Air and Space Museum, because we touch sea, air, and space in our history and what we teach.

Most of the year, Laura's job is to talk about the Hornet's deployments during World War II or the vital role it played in the Apollo 11 and 12 missions.

We have failing museums on the point.

The USS Hornet is struggling financially.

The Naval Air and Space Museum is struggling financially.

And we have struggling businesses.

Everybody, let's take a swig.

We're going to need it.

Jack White is at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

And The Haunted House begins at the USS Hornet in Alameda.

We have been on this vessel.

We actually did a show from there.
