See the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum - New York

The Intrepid is a warship that has services American shores and beyond for many decades, enjoying an illustrious life on the waters of the world. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, aboard the vessel, provides a fascinating historical journey into this massive giant of the waters. The Intrepid served in World War II, after which it was commissioned as a recovery vessel for NASA. The Intrepid was then used in Vietnam. It is therefore one of the most thrilling and unique attractions that New York has to offer. Step aboard the Intrepid to discover a vast array of exhibits that document the heroic times and people that have characterised the US Navy since its inception. In 1974 Zachary Fisher stopped the Intrepid from being relegated to the scrap yard, creating one of the most dynamic museums across the globe.

The museums' exhibits offer a wide choice, with something or everyone.
