Battleship New Jersey

Walk aboard a vessel that earned more commendations than perhaps any other warship in American naval history, and you're stepping into something far more immersive than a typical museum experience. Winter visits bring a particular quietness to the decks—the chill off the water adds an almost contemplative quality as you navigate through BB62's corridors and compartments. Rather than observing history from behind glass, you become part of the story itself. Sit in Admiral Halsey's command chair, bunk down where crews once rested between shifts, and squeeze into the 16-inch gun turrets to grasp how ammunition moved through the firing sequence. The ship hosts guided explorations, special events, and overnight stays that transform this retired battleship into an extraordinarily hands-on journey through naval warfare and maritime life.
