UPDATE: The Battleship is open to the public, but new procedures in place to help ensure the safety of staff and visitors prevent us from holding events such as this one. We are disappointed to have to skip our programs, but are happy to welcome visitors to tour outdoor areas of the Ship’s main deck and above.
