Specialty Tours & Experiences
Fire a Battleship Gun!
Fire a 5-inch Gun or Saluting Gun Salute!
Pull the trigger and fire a salute from our 40mm saluting gun on Saturday, Oct, 12 from 12pm to 2pm. A $50 donation to fire the gun.
Did you know that you can donate to fire either the Battleship's 5-inch gun or 40mm saluting gun nearly any day and time? We ask for a $500 donation for someone to pull the trigger of the ship's portside 5-inch gun, and a $100 donation to fire the ship's 40mm saluting gun. Don't worry -- we're not blowing up Pennsylvania. We only fire blanks, but it makes a nice fireball and very loud bang!
