Intrepid Moves to Bayonne, NJ

The aircraft carrier Intrepid was successfully moved from Pier 86 to Bayonne, NJ. Intrepid proceeded past the Statue of Liberty, then unfurled its gigantic American flag as she passed historic Ground Zero shore point as a silent tribute to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

The World War II vessel will be refurbished over the next two years including opening now hidden areas of the ship to the public. While in dry dock, the outside of the ship will be repainted in classic battleship gray, and many of the military aircraft on its flight deck will be restored. Pier 86 will be entirely rebuilt as well.

Live video of ongoing renovations to Pier 86 and Intrepid can now be viewed daily on www.intrepidmuseum.org through Earthcam.
