Program Description: Throughout this program, your students will have the opportunity to conduct an exercise in oral history with a veteran of America's miliary forces. The Battleship New Jersey's Distance Learning Classroom is a former crew berthing compartment. This room on the ship's Second Deck was once home to about 30 of the New Jersey's sailors. Several of the bunks and crew lockers have been left in place for your students to see during your program. The lockers have been filled with crew belongings dating to the late 1980s and early 1990s. Most of the belongings were found aboard the ship after the New Jersey became a floating museum. |
