If you're near San Francisco and think it's a shame this isn't becoming a museum ship, I'd encourage you to visit and support the Jeremiah O'Brien, one of two still-floating Liberty ships (WWII cargo transports). It's a much smaller ship but still needs >$1 million every so often for drydock inspection and maintenance: https://www.ssjeremiahobrien.org/pages/how-you-can-help https://www.ssjeremiahobrien.org/pages/how-you-can-help
No affiliation, I've just enjoyed visiting a couple times. If you show up on the right day you can wander round the engine room while it's running!
