Visitors aboard the USS Alabama -- got to experience a little bit of World War II history this holiday weekend. We were there as the Battleship’s Living History Crew -- not only got into character but put on a show!
) - It was a scene out of World War II -- playing out Saturday afternoon -- on the USS Alabama.
“We’re trying to carry on their stories -- stories that they told us. Stories my father’s generation told me. And we are trying to pass those down and preserve our naval heritage and a little bit of our history, which is slowly fading from the scene,” said Peter Cash, Captain of Battleship Alabama Living History Crew.“I started doing Living History Crew in about 2016 -- 2017,” said Nathan Howard, Battleship Living History Crew Member.
“I’ve not been able to see a plane dive-bombing a ship up close like that. I don’t know anywhere else in the world you’re going to be able to see a re-enactment with them coming in as close as they did and taking off like they were. Very cool,” said Erickson.
