Photographic Tour of the Battleship New Jersey, BB62
I visited the Battleship New Jersey in July, 2015 and took the walking self guided tour of the ship. The ship is very large and the walking tour hit almost every deck and spot that you would want to see. I took a lot of photos, and have broken them up into manageable groups, each group shown on a different page in the order I took them on the ship.
