Step aboard the historic USS Yorktown and experience a behind-the-scenes journey through one of America’s most celebrated aircraft carriers. This exclusive tour offers access to areas of the ship not normally open to the public, providing an intimate look at life aboard this legendary floating city. As you explore, you will step into an original B-25 Mitchell Bomber, the same model flown by daring aviators during the famous raid on mainland Japan, and gain a deep understanding of the daily routines, challenges, and camaraderie of the sailors who lived and served aboard the Yorktown.
Your tour also includes a visit to the Captain’s Quarters, where the stories of the ship’s commanders, including its first captain, Adm. Joseph J. Clark, come vividly to life. Witness the aircraft that once soared from the carrier’s deck, and enjoy breathtaking views of Charleston Harbor as you reflect on the immense scale and historical significance of this vessel. This immersive experience allows you to honor the bravery of those who served while exploring the machinery, history, and stories that make the Yorktown a living monument to American courage and ingenuity.
