Should the Ship Hector replica return to the water?

What are your thoughts on relaunching the Hector replica in Nova Scotia?

It is an attractive vessel worth visiting, although keeping it ashore might make maintenance easier in Nova Scotia's weather.

The Hector replica is an appealing vessel to visit and inspect. Relaunching it nevertheless raises a preservation concern: Nova Scotia's weather may make keeping it afloat harder to maintain than an exhibit ashore. The preference expressed is for considering land-based preservation. Its return to the water is welcomed for the activities it can bring, while that maintenance reservation remains.
