This ship was placed in the water as it is to serve as a Lake Sumter Landing icon; to give some visual interest to a rather bland lake.<br /><br />I really don't think it is sinking...but it may be taking on a bit more water than it has had in the past. If it sinks, they'll just prop it up again.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536021732578795315.post-81495645834866000762009-08-18T08:58:15.365-04:002009-08-18T08:58:15.365-04:00How deep is that lake?
