Battleship IOWA Museum Online Auction Presented by Veterans West

Keeping History Alive at BB-61

Battleship IOWA (BB-61) has several nicknames: "The Big Stick" (1952), "The Grey Ghost" (Korean War), and "The Battleship of Presidents."

For those who served aboard her, she's a grand lady. For those who visit her, she's a living history experience and engineering marvel. And soon, she will be home to the National Museum of the Surface Navy!

So get on board and take an unforgettable journey with us. The auction starts November 5th at 12:00 AM Pacific Time and runs through November 13th at 12:00 AM Pacific. Remember, the higher you bid, the more we raise to keep this beautiful ship shipshape and our programs running strong. This means it's OKAY to bid higher than the market value!

All proceeds directly support the programming and resources for the military and veteran communities Veterans West serve.
