I’ve been to a number of museum ships in the United States both military and commercial. The absolute best one I’ve ever been to is the Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington North Carolina. It’s the best preserved and most open battleship I’ve ever visited and I’ve been to a number of US Battleships (Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Texas). Since then whenever I go to a new museum ship and talk to their staff they’ll always ask me “Which was the best museum ship I’ve visited?” and when I tell them North Carolina they ALWAYS will get angry I didn’t say theirs but hey you asked me an honest question.

I plan on going to Boston next year and will stop by the USS Massachusetts if I manage to get time to go there, the only good US Museum ship review rates that #1 compared to North Carolina #2 so it must be pretty impressive.

Anyone else have good museum ship reviews/rankings?
