Below is a brief history of this restaurant that once was a wwII gunship

Offered for sale by theMaritime Administration, the former gunboat, presidential yacht, and oceanographic vessel was acquired by a commercial concern whose intention was to use the ship as a combination floating hotel-restaurant-museum to be permanently berthed in Pennsville Township on Salem River, in New Jersey.

TheWilliamsburgwas towed up the Salem River where she was placed in a berth originally meant to accommodate a dredge at the former Bright\'s Marina, renamed the Marlboro Marina. The shallow water depth resulted in the ship being firmly grounded in the mud. There the yacht remained in the southern end ofPennsville Township, in Salem County, NJ, and for several years thereafter as a restaurant before being sold to new owners[citation needed].

In 1993, the formerWilliamsburgwas transferred toGenoa, Italyfor conversion into a luxury cruise ship. These plans were never realized, and the former yacht was faced with imminent scrapping atLa Spezia, Italy, but an urgent appeal to the Italian government saved her. The \"USS Williamsburg Preservation Society\" was formed with the goal of returningWilliamsburgto the United States for restoration and preservation.[2]Two former White House staffers began a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds to restore the \"Williamsburg\" and return her to the U.S. Navy for use by future Presidents; however, the campaign failed to raise the goal of $40 million.[3]

Williamsburgwas laid up at the Navy wharf inLa Spezia, Italy while offered for sale by Camper & Nicholsons International ofMonaco.[4]

The ship sunk at her moorings, inLa Speziaharbor, in 2015.[5]
