USS North Carolina Legacy Museum Tour Wilmington NC

The Battleship North Carolina
Battleship NORTH CAROLINA participated in every major naval offensive in the Pacific theater of operations during World War II, earning 15 battle stars. This authentically restored National Historic Landmark proudly serves as her State’s World War II Memorial to the 11,000+ North Carolinians who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Moored across from historic downtown Wilmington, the Battleship welcomes visitors daily. Plot your own course as you explore nine levels, climb inside gun turrets, marvel at early computers, and see where the crew ate, slept, and worked. Crew stories throughout the Ship introduce you to the 2,000 young men who called the Showboat home.
Encircling the Ship, the State Employees Credit Union (SECU) Walkway provides an opportunity to appreciate her majesty and power. Enjoy a picnic in Battleship Park or savor a meal in Wilmington. And take a piece of her home from the Battleship Steel Collection!

When the new visitors center was built I was proud to have been a donor to it's construction. I need to get down to Wilmington NC and visit the ship again.

I've never been, but would love to go. I was born in New Bern, and have family all along the coast. I have absolutely no excuse for never going! Have you been to Patriot's Point?

I practically lived on the battleship.....

[@GrampsWizarding]

Wow there is a story there we need to hear ......

[@ColKorn1965]

@@GrampsWizarding When I was a kid we lived very close to the battleship. When I got older, my brother and I toured it a lot. My brother suggested that when the caretaker retired that I take his place. That involved staying overnight on the ship,😃
