SUMMARY:Bunk Up On the Battleship IOWA
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Veteran’s Day with a rare “sleepover” excursion aboard the USS Iowa\, arranged exclusively for the Atlas Obscura Society. \nAs the only civilian adult group ever to receive permission for such an extended\, immersive experience\, we will gather on the permanently moored ship\, now known as the Battleship Iowa Museum\, in the late afternoon to receive our safety briefing\, get settled into our bunks\, and chow down on an early dinner in the mess hall. \nWe’ll then take an extensive tour of the massive warship—which measures 887 feet (about 0.15 nautical miles) in length—through staterooms\, command centers\, the main galley\, and other areas that show what “life at sea” was like for sailors in the Pacific Fleet from the 1940s through the 1980s. \nAnd\, as a special bonus\, we’ll even gain exclusive access to some areas of this great\, gray lady that are not currently open to the public during regular tours. \nAfter a good night’s sleep\, we’ll rise to reveille\, grab a hot breakfast\, and be treated to a special Q&A session with actual veterans—some of whom served in the U.S. Navy and on this very same battleship. \nExperience the routines and customs aboard the notorious “Big Stick” of the U.S. Navy\, which has retired at the former home of the United States battle fleet from (1919-1940) and\, more recently\, the Long Beach Naval Shipyard. \nOnce called the “Battleship of Presidents” (having hosted FDR\, Reagan\, and George H.W. Bush)\, the USS Iowa had the biggest guns on any U.S. Navy ship\, used primarily for anti-aircraft missions: nine 16-inch guns mounted on three stacked turrets on the flight deck (capable of carrying 2000 tons of firepower). \nShe was the lead ship of the last class of battleships in the Navy\, having served in three significant commissions: World War II\, the Korean War\, and the Cold War. And now\, having emerged from the Navy’s mothball fleet just a few years ago\, she has made the Port of LA in San Pedro her permanent home. \nADDITIONAL DETAILS \nDinner\, tour\, overnight accommodations\, and breakfast are all included in the ticket price. Overnight parking available for an additional fee. \nThe USS Iowa no longer sets sail\, so don’t worry about getting seasick! \nNo children under age 16. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. \nNo “in-and-out” privileges after lights out. \nSigned liability waivers will be required from all confirmed attendees. \nThis takes place in San Pedro at the Port of LA / LA Harbor. Please allow plenty of time for travel. \nMattresses are single occupancy only. If you’re very tall (over 6’4″)\, have broad shoulders\, or are claustrophobic\, these accommodations are not for you! \nNot handicap accessible. Be prepared to walk up and down several flights of narrow\, steep stairs and step up and over doorways. Beware of low overheads (“head knockers”) and high watertight doorways (“knee knockers”). \nVegetarian and vegan options available. Please check with us about any food allergies before you purchase your ticket. \nSmoking permitted only on the pier\, before “Lights Out.”\nSorry\, no hanky-panky allowed\, and you must sleep only in designated areas. \nInclement weather or national security issues may cancel the event. \nA portion of the proceeds will go towards the restoration and upkeep of the USS Iowa. \nWHAT TO BRING: \nWear comfortable clothing and shoes for lots of walking indoors and outdoors. Bring a jacket for the evening chill\, PJs\, and a change of clothes for the next day. \nBring your own bedding (sleeping bag or pad\, sheets / blanket)\, and pillow(s) as well as any toiletries (toothbrush/paste\, etc.). \nAbsolutely no alcoholic beverages permitted. Bring bottled water! \nBring a flashlight and a camera. Photography encouraged!\nNo weapons\, fishing equipment\, or chewing gum allowed on board. \nQuestions? \nEmail Sandi Hemmerlein at sandi@atlasobscura.com. \nAdvance Tickets Only. All Sales Final.
