Best of luck.
I (volunteer and they didn't use it, oh well, board does it's own thing, I had fun) made a guide app for the QLD maritime museum a few years back (let's all dox) who have managed to weather a few assaults over recent years. Being in an actual dry dock has given them an inertia that has so far overcome being prime southbank real estate, but it's unlikely to last forever. Possibly being seaworthy and mobile may be an advantage.
Can't quite make sense of the destroy it aspect, seems like there may be a dick and/or an ego involved, in which case you may also weather it, seems easier to not destroy. QMM manage with a few not so (although they think so) influential social types and low grade social support. Take a step back and try to see objectively where the threats are, find weakness (it's likely a bunch of people willing to shout).

HMAS Diamantina? Looks absolutely gorgeous. Very jealous of the drydock.
The MV Cape Don is one of the largest historic vessels in Australia, so the choice of drydocks is limited. (Sadly can't build one out of mud and bucket the water out)
