ORAL HISTORIES AND TESTIMONIALS
The Conservancy has connected with hundreds of former officers and crew members, builders, designers, passengers, maritime historians, and ship enthusiasts to help preserve and protect the legacy of the Big U. These moving stories collected over the last decade preserve the first- hand accounts of the thrill of serving and sailing on board America’s Flagship.
The Conservancy continues to expand its oral and video documentation. Our oral history collections are a vital part of our exhibit development and curatorial work. We are excited to showcase these memories and testimonies in our landbased museum in Okaloosa County. Below are some of our most recent recordings.
