What's Going on at Nauticus this November?
New at Nauticus
With the opening of some of the battleship's interior spaces, Nauticus has some exciting new offerings for battleship visitors. A six minute dramatic film, Forward for Freedom, shown inside Nauticus' new introductory theater, brings the Wisconsin to life through the stories and commentary of those who served aboard her. Visitors may also access the Wisconsin Wardroom and Officer's Quarters as well as a new exhibit located at the entrance to the Wardroom, For All Those in Uniform Who Have Served. This changing exhibit space pays tribute to the armed forces, with an initial focus on Senator John W. Warner, who was instrumental in bringing the battleship Wisconsin to Norfolk. The film, exhibit, Wardroom and Officer's Quarters are included in regular Nauticus admissio
