Aydin Diaby: 19 Year-Old Creates IOWA Model From Scratch! 26:38

Out of the blue a few months ago, we got an email from a young man from the Philadelphia area. Aydin Diaby is 19 and a self-taught model maker. When he and his brother visited Battleship IOWA in April 2023, Aydin was so inspired, he went home, literally made a 4-foot model of the ship on his own, then reached out to let us know what he'd done. We were intrigued, and our communications team - in the person of volunteer Ron Ploof, reached out to get Aydin's story. Turns out model-making isn't this extraordinary guy's only intriguing interest. We've been so delighted getting to know him, we had to share him with you. * * * * Come aboard for a tour: https://www.pacificbattleship.com/museum_visit Volunteer with us: https://www.pacificbattleship.com/get-involved/volunteer National Museum of the Surface Navy: https://www.surfacenavymuseum.org/donate Become a Plank Owner: https://www.surfacenavymuseum.org/plank_owner Donate: https://www.surfacenavymuseum.org/donate Find out about our veterans' programs: https://pacificbattleship.com/get-involved/veterans/ Feedback?

We're back for another season of SCUTTLEBUTT and we're starting off by sharing a new YouTube channel addiction: What's Going On In Shipping (https://www.youtube.com/@wgowshipping). Dr. Sal Mercogliano is a retired merchant mariner and chairman of the history department at Campbell University. In his spare time, he likes to talk about what's going on in the world of shipping. We had discovered him and reached out to invite him to our podcast so we could talk about shipping and its relation to freedom of the seas, but then a week ago, the MV Dali allision with the Key Bridge in Baltimore really gave us fodder for discussion.
