Loved the one in Kansas City! There are some great, thematically-similar museums in other countries as well, if you ever find yourself there:

- the Vasa in Stockholm, Sweden is a ship dredged from the harbor and stabilized, sank in 1628

- the Mary Rose in Portsmouth, England is a Tudor ship that sank in 1545 that was raised and stabilized

In both cases a ton of work was done to stabilize and preserve the remains of the ships that is, imo, almost more interesting than the ship itself.

Honestly I wouldn't rush to see the Mary Rose unless you are extremely interested. It's a little anticlimactic as a viewing experience.
