Battleship North Carolina is a refurbished WWII Battleship moored right across the river from downtown Wilmington. You can walk the planks and take a self-guided tour with nine levels of living spaces, mess decks, gun turrets, powder storage, sick bay, and more. Serves as a memorial for the 11,000 North Carolinians who died during the war. The SECU Memorial Walkway around the Battleship is open Battleship hours and is accessible and free to the public.
