The captains bathtub actually. Seems a fellow in Urbana Ohio asked the Navy in 1912 for a relic from the Battleship Maine to put up on a pedestal in the town square. He wanted the largest object he could get from the sunken ship, which turned out to be the bathtub. So.... after getting the tub.... the town didn't think it would be proper to put it up on a pedestal after some sober thinking on the matter. The tub began a trip down to today.
