A Walking Tour of Battleship NJ in Drydock

I'm glad you did this video. I'm in a wheelchair and there was no way I could have done the tour. I know I was not the only one. Thank you.

Ryan's now an expert on drydocking battleships... which he'll probably never do again.

I'm so pleased that I bit the bullet and went on this tour. Even though I didn't get Ryan as my tour guide, it was a wonderful experience. I'm definitely planning on a curator tour when she is back in Camden!

Ryan, first let me say thank you. Thank you for your work to preserve the memory of the Navy I remember. I am a tin can sailor from the 70’s. I served aboard a Gearing class can home ported out of Philadelphia. My ship was dry docked in Philly in 75. To see the below water artistry of the design of a ship is always exhilarating to me. I love what you do to preserve the memory of our efforts to preserve this nation. I love watching the videos you make and look forward to visiting the New Jersey someday. Again thank you! It helps me feel what I did has value.

I'm so glad my brother and I were able to make the drydock tour. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this great ship out of the water. Thank you to my beautiful wife for purchasing the tickets for us for my 60th birthday.
Ryan looks like a proud father walking the New Jersey, and he should be. The contractors did excellent work on this project. Here's to another 30 years Ryan and company!
Long live BB62 the namesake of my home state, New Jersey !

Thank you Ryan , support staff... Oh and BB-62 herself.
Thank you for saving this till the end. I'm enjoying it be well #battleshipnewjersey

Amazing to watch a curator underneath his mega-sized object of curation. It's been a great trip Ryan, here's to the next one!

Ryan, the voulnteers and workers aren't only preserving New Jersey's history, you're part of the history that you're still literally writing.

Any ship can serve as a mine sweeper once 31:52

This was wonderful! I wasn’t able to make it out for a dry dock tour, but this makes me feel like I wasn’t left out. Thank you so much for doing this one - I know it had to have taken a lot of your very valuable time.

I went on a tour, to get the full experience you need to also hear 15 planes taking off as well!

Just fantastic Ryan. Thank you, and the camera operator for an amazing tour of Battleship New Jersey.

Got in the last day, met you Ryan, and Jason was our guide. I’m mad I waited but glad i got in. From the son of a USS Saratoga CV-60 fireman, thank you!

this is an amazing video and I hope more things like it come after it. It may come as a shock to some people, but an overwhelming majority of people wont be able to go see a museum ship, in or out of the water. videos like this give more people than could ever come see the ship in person a chance at the experience.

I have not cried so much in the last 20 years as the last 30 days. I lost my beloved dog Layla of 17 years. She was a beautiful brown/red dachshund. I remember bringing her home so small and weak. She was my every day routine for 17 years. Every sad video sets me crying. Don't be sad it's over, smile because you have a lifetime of memories to cherish. RiP Layla, but long live BB-62 and long live her sister ships.

Thanks for the vid Ryan, unable to visit her while in drydock sucks, but your videos filled the gap. she will outlive us all!

I enjoyed the "Any ship can be a mine sweeper one time" Funny but true!!

Awesome, thanks for letting us ride in the cheap seats! Will have to visit the gift shoppe

Took a tour the very first day they were available, took another the next to last weekend before she left. Magnificent work everyone !

Well done Ryan, thanks for taking such great care of our treasure. With you and your team at the helm, she will be around for generations to come, again we'll done and Thanks!! Long live the Battleship USS New Jersey BB62!!
