Battle of Hampton Roads Weekend

Join The Mariners’ Museum and NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary in observance of the 148th anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads, the backdrop of the famous clash between the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia. NOAA and Mariners’ staff will give informative lectures about the revolutionary vessels and how they changed the world’s navies.

Behind-the-scenes tours of the award-winning USS Monitor Center, living history demonstrations, music, and children’s activities will round out the day. Families can also sign up for a ditty-bag craft activity at an additional charge of
$5 per participant. Supplies are limited, so advance registration is suggested. For more information contact Wisteria Perry at wperry@MarinersMuseum.org or (757) 591-7744.
