USS North Carolina Coverage

The parking lot at the USS North Carolina Battleship in Wilmington is increasingly being overrun by flood waters. At high tide, water and mud can cover the ground. It is a mucky mess for guests, which threatens the ability of one of the top tourist attractions in North Carolina to sell tickets and, ultimately, stay open.
