In support of the Battleship North Carolina Memorial, an entertaining night of storytelling featuring rum and history will be held in the Battleship’s Wardroom this fall.
This one-of-a-kind event will take place in the on-board Battleship North Carolina and provide an engaging look at three ships, over three centuries with three historic cocktails being made available. Dubbed “Bottleship: History Served Neat” the event will include stories about three historic individual ships named USS North Carolina with an era-specific rum cocktail to accompany each ship’s story. Attendees will learn about rum rations and Prohibition, as well as wartime sea stories and tiki culture.
Poster printing services are an invaluable resource for those holding fundraising events.
