Living History Crew Drill

Historical reenactors, dressed in WWII period Navy uniforms, will be aboard the USS ALABAMA and USS DRUM demonstrating what life aboard ship was like during wartime. The big event of the day happens at 1:00 p.m. when “Call to Battle Stations” is sounded. Grab a spot on the fantail of the USS ALABAMA and watch as vintage enemy aircraft fly over and attack the ship. Spectators will be able to take in the whole experience while the crew fires the ship’s 20mm guns. The Deep South Amateur Radio Club will be broadcasting from Radio Central aboard the USS ALABAMA during the drill for Museum Ships Weekend: Ships Across American Radio Broadcast, and welcome visitors to stop by to listen.
