Battleship USS North Carolina

This is the memorial to the 10,000 North Carolinians who lost their lives in WWII. Launched only months before the start of the war, the battleship went on to serve in every major campaign of the Pacific. The technology and ingenuity packed into this vessel which, after 50 years, is still one of the most powerful warships ever built, still amazes visitors. Located on the opposite bank of the Cape Fear river from downtown Wilmington, NC, the North Carolina can be reached by either the Memorial Bridge or a river taxi. Sept. 15-May 15 the ship is open every day 8-5. The rest of the year every day 8-8.
