 Battleship New Jersey by bct341
NEW JERSEY was decommissioned for the last time on February 8,1991 at Bremerton, Washington where she resided until heading home to New Jersey. She was officially stricken from the Navy list on February 12,1995 but was then ordered reinstated by an order of congress as a mobilization asset under Bill 1024 section 1011. On January 4, 1999 NEW JERSEY was again stricken from the Navy list and IOWA replaced her as a mobilization asset. On September 12, 1999 NEW JERSEY began her Final Voyage home from Bremerton, where she had rested in mothballs for the last 8 years. On November 11th, she arrived at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Since that time, she has been restored, opened and established as an educational museum and a tribute to the brave sailors who served on her during her long and distinguished career. The Battleship New Jersey opened as a Museum and Memorial in October 2001.

 Camden Waterfront by bct341
It is a great place to take a walk alone or with someone :) Occasionally, they have jazz bands play at an outdoor stage which is nice. But, other times, you may hear the music coming from major concerts at the Ecentre which is a large indoor/outdoor concert complex.
Also, there is the NJ Aquarium and the Battleship New Jersey to see. But the views are what I go there for... love seeing the sunsets :) Leave a Comment

 NJ State Aquarium by bct341
The aquarium is ok as aquariums go. There are much better ones in the U.S. but it is still a nice place to take the kids and explore nature. They have a great outdoor park with a merry go-round and a small train plus a butterfly flower park which is nice for small children.
If you have been to Baltimore's Aquarium or others, you may be disappointed in this one. But, it still is nice for a get away with the family.

I was in Camden in May of 2003 at Hank's Bar near the stadium hanging out with some family and friends (a long story . . . ). Leave a Comment

The New Jersey State Aquarium is located just north of the Tweeter Center along the river (www.njaquarium.org).
You'll also find Campbell's Field, a great baseball stadium and home of the Camden Riversharks right at the Jersey side of the Ben Franklin Bridge.
For all you photo buffs out there, you might just want to cross the bridge to get some great shots of Philadelphia from across the river.
There is also the Walt Whitman House located between 3rd and 4th Streets at 328 Mickle Boulevard. This was the home of the great American poet until his death in 1892 (for information call 856.964.5383).
Near the campus of Rutgers, you'll find this interesting building, but I don't recall exactly what's significant about it. Leave a Comment

WARNING: you may take the NJ subway line and walk to the aquarium, which is what I did, but I would not recommend it. Camden is UGLY, DIRTY and the parts of the Bronx that I have seen (granted, I have not seen many) appears to be a lot safer... Take a river taxi or a normal taxi instead. Leave a Comment
