MUSEUM

Battle Ship Intrepid

It's a beautiful day outside and a perfect opportunity to get on the Hudson River (just a bit) and see the Intrepid and its "guests".





"New York City’s Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum Complex is an educational and cultural non-profit institution centered on the aircraft carrier Intrepid. The mission of the Museum is to promote the awareness and understanding of history, science and service through its collections, exhibitions and programming in order to honor our heroes, educate the public and inspire our youth. Join us for a dynamic, interactive and educational journey for all ages."

We had a 2 hours, private tour of the ship regarding its role in the Pacific Oceans during World War II.  It was very well presented by an enthusiastic, well informed scholar on the ship.  Learned a lot.

A look at what is there...
