Wilmington, NC – November 13, 2020 – The Battleship NORTH CAROLINA will open to visitors at the delayed time of 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020, because of expected flooding at the site. High waters caused by past extensive rain, a king tide and the morning high tide are forecast to impede access to the Ship before 11 a.m.
High tidal flooding is expected to continue over the next week. Updates will be sent by email and posted on social media and BattleshipNC.com.
It is always recommended that visitors monitor tide and weather information before visiting low-lying areas of the Cape Fear Coast such as the Battleship.
