Central West End Association, 415 DeBaliviere is joining with other members of the Greater St. Louis Savings and Loan League to help sell “Save the Admiral” tickets. Tickets can be purchased at the Central West End Savings and Loan, and are $5.00 each with no refund if the campaign fails. Should it fail,. the money will be turned over to the United Way campaign. If the sales campaign is successful, the money would help pay the Admiral’s debts and repair the boat’s hull for a total . cost of $1.2 million.
The Admiral is particularly important to west end residents as many summer jobs have traditionally been held by local neighborhood students, and Captain Carroll of the Admiral is a west end resident.
The Admiral is now docked at the New Orleans Avondale Shipyard.
