Definitely 1.

option three gives more of an appearance that she is still in the water.. option one does look good as well.

my kids have been to see her a couple of times, sadly i have not made it yet... not too far as i live in DFW, so i will make it some day... but the differences between 1,2 and 3 seems to be how much space they have around the ship and to what degree... but i like either 1 or 2 mainly due to the fact that it would require less actual movment of the ship itself as they would just be filling in the dock area with rock and dirt...  #3 however is interesting also in it does hive her a bit more appearance of being more "out to sea" then the other options...

regardless it is a very interesting post, thanks myg0t1,

ill pass this information on to the boys also, im sure they will find it interesting. 


Meanwhile in Texas...

worth nothing the differences between options 1 and 2 are option 1 literally raises her above ground so you can see her from the adjacent highway.

Option 2 is the most cost effective leaving her at her current height with the natural terrain obscurring view from the aforementioned vantage point.

1 for sure. #3 is to chaotic and unorganized in apperance. And #4 is kinds of the same but smaller. I like 1.

#1 looks the best
