Preserving the Chilean armored cruiser O'Higgins

Other than HMS Implacable, which pre-1900 ship that survived until at least 1945 would you save as a museum ship?

The Chilean armored cruiser O'Higgins, a surviving Philip Watts export design that was not scrapped until 1958.

One choice is a locally remembered iron fishing boat that survived both world wars before sinking during the Troubles. Its age is unknown, so the exchange cannot establish that it meets the question's pre-1900 requirement. The principal named choice is the Chilean armored cruiser O'Higgins, launched in 1897 and completed in 1898. Armstrong Whitworth built it at Elswick to a Philip Watts design. Although it left service in 1933, it survived until scrapping in 1958 and therefore satisfies the requirement to have survived to 1945. Preserving it would have allowed visitors to inspect a ship from that period and design tradition.
