Follow Us: battleshipnj. The financial and structural plight of two nautical giants on the Philadelphia waterfront, the U. Olympia and the S. United States have drawn attention to the preservation of historic ships across the country. Our region is rich in seagoing tradition and the surviving ships that projected American commerce and defense around the globe.

Most are open to visitors. This year will determine its fate — to be saved for future generations or sunk as an artificial reef. Visitors can still tour the Olympia, but hours have been limited and it may be a last chance to thread through the crews quarters and operational spaces on a truly historic ship. At the light turn left on to Columbus Boulevard aka Delaware Avenue. Bristling with powerful 16 inch guns, the New Jersey entered World War Two in time for the major Pacific thrust, taking the fight to enemy home waters.

She went on to serve with distinction in Korea and Viet Nam. Now, a major nautical museum, tours cover the combat center, living quarters, even the cavernous turrets that house the huge guns.

Getting there: Because so many bridges and highways converge on the Camden area, the best bet from wherever you begin the drive is to Use MapQuest.
