3 Reasons Donations are Important
- Battleship Memorial was started with a single donation when the US Navy transferred the USS North Carolina to the State. A second gift from the people of North Carolina–including the nickels and dimes of school children–brought the ship home to Wilmington in 1961.
- The Battleship receives no regular government funding for operations or upkeep. Donations safeguard the “ship-shape” of our historic vessel, secure access to Battleship Memorial and support a rich visitor experience.
- Battleship North Carolina is a legacy to those who risk their lives in support of our freedom. Your donations actively support our treasured National Historic Landmark as a powerful site to share our history and introduce the call to duty–to teach, to learn, to serve.
