REINITIATE Reflection Wednesday, October 2, 2011 The Battleship NORTH CAROLINA came to Wilmington, NC on October 2, 1961 and opened the public on October 12 that same year. For this day, the ship will open to the public at 1961 prices. That is 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for kids. A perfect time to remember and reflect. Call for more information at 910-251-5797.
