Step behind the scenes of a historic U.S. Navy battleship and discover the machinery that powered life at sea. On the Iowa Engineering Tour, an accredited guide leads you below deck through historic engineering spaces, narrow passageways, and areas most visitors never see. Examine original equipment and hear stories about the crew members who operated these complex systems under pressure. This guided experience offers a closer look at the ship’s engineering and the work that kept it moving. The Iowa Engineering Tour begins with a welcome and safety briefing on the main deck before you explore the ship’s engineering spaces. Allow 270 minutes for the experience.
