CLOSED FOR TOURS AS THE BATTLESHIP PREPARES FOR DRY DOCK
The Battleship is closed for tours in order to prepare for dry dock.
The Battleship will depart for dry dock on March 21. A free Departure Celebration will take place at 11am on the Battleship’s pier on March 21. The Pier will open at 10am for this event, which will include dignitaries, entertainment, food and bar concessions and more as we wish a bon voyage to the Battleship.
The Battleship is expected to be in dry dock for 60 days. We hope to re-open it for tours in June.
