After spending the morning on the Queen Mary, visiting the bridge and learning about her “Gray Ghost” years during WWII, we headed to the USS Iowa.

Our time aboard the battleship started with the Presidential Tour, where we learned the history of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s time on the ship, as well as getting to see some areas not accessible on the self tour. Then we explored all over the ship, learning about its weapons systems and how the sailors lived aboard.
