On our anniversary trip in June Betsy and I spent a couple of days in Charleston, South Carolina. We quickly learned that we could have spent a couple of weeks in Charleston and still not have seen everything we wanted to see. But at least we have a good excuse to go back.
One of the places we got to see, but not visit, was Patriots Point, a naval and maritime museum in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, on Charleston Harbor. Patriots Point is a hands on museum dealing with military units from World War II through the Vietnam War. It’s possible to tour four warships (an aircraft carrier, destroyer, coast guard cutter, and submarine) as well as a full scale model of a navy advance tactical support base.
Patriots Point got its start in 1975 with the arrival of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. I visited Patriots Point in 1988, but there have been many exhibits added since then.
We only had the opportunity to see enough of Patriots Point to want to go back. To see our pictures click HERE.
