Battleship New Jersey and the Seaport Museum

On thursday, we took a trip to Battleship New Jersey, on the Camden waterfront, and the Independence Seaport Museum, on the Philadelphia waterfront.



Battleship New Jersey was the better of the two trips. We were led on a tour by a Navy veteran. The tour was interesting. He said the BSN was the longest battleship ever built by the US Navy. It was also the longest-serving. It had a crew of several thousand men, yet only one ever died abord the ship. Inside, it was somewhat cramped.

After the tour, we ate lunch abord the ship.





Next, we visited the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia.

The museum was pretty boring.

Outside of the museum, there sat a submarine and a battleship, both of which we visited. The submarine had small doors. It was cool.

The end.
