Creator's Key Takeaways

I will say in some of the uh shots I've seen of her, you can see a lot of the things that have been removed from the ship sitting on her decks, windows and and various things.

So buyer beware, back up your sources. Ask for pictures of the item on the ship if you're going to buy from these people.

Creator's Tips & Advice
