Battleship New Jersey

An accident on Camden's Battleship New Jersey happened Tuesday causing a volunteer worker to suffer a head injury.

The volunteer, whose identity was not disclosed, hit the back of his head but was "conscious and in good spirits," according to a ship spokesman.

America’s most decorated battleship, the New Jersey (BB-62) was launched on Dec. 7, 1942.

It will still offer tours and events through September 7th; after that, it will close until “such time that the Board deems it viable to re-open.”

The year 2013 marks an important milestone for the Battleship New Jersey. The year will be another filled with challenges for those who struggle to keep this historic icon afloat in tight financial times.
