During this event, you will have a chance to explore inside an Aircraft Carrier’s Chain Room. You will be able to see the anchor chair room which is often a hidden room in the ship. You will also see the huge anchor chains and learn how sailors raised and lowered the 30,000 pound anchors.
Stories will also be shared how sailors used this space for recreation and stories about World War II as well.
Jessica Williams, curator of history and collections at the Intrepid Museum, will guide you during this event. This event is sponsored by the Intrepid Sea, Art and Air Museum.
