That's proabley why they're doing this on a thursday,alot of the river towns opposite the navy yard is residential neighborhoods.
I was going to watch from National Park, across from the Navy Yard. However, a friend said that I wouldn't get within miles of the place, as when they originally moved Jersey from the yard to her present berth, the crowds were enormous.
Also, be aware: they are saying it will be 6 hours from casting off until arrival at the yard. Usual trip time on the river about 40 to 60 minutes.
Read about this on Sunday. It was front page news
in the newspapers and was on the tv news . I'll bet when they move her to the yard they'll have designated areas to watch it . 3/21 is a Thursday.
USS New Jersey is leaving Camden NJ for the Philadelphia Navy Yard on Thursday, March 21, 2024.
