Ryan Szimanski, the battleship’s curator, said moving the ship could be “a once in a generation occurrence.” He described the ship as ”one of the most impressive man-made objects ever,” noting it’s the size of a 90-story office building, can displace 57,500 tons and can move through the water at about 38 mph (61 kph).
