About Charleston: Patriot's Point Haunted USS Yorktown Tour

The guided tour typically lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, giving you ample time to explore the ship and absorb the haunting stories shared along the way.

The aircraft carrier Yorktown, named after the Siege of Yorktown, participated in the Pacific War in the later stages of World War II, and was decommissioned and docked in Charleston as a museum. The aircraft carrier is very large and magnificent, and its intricate and detailed structure is truly admirable. A total of 6 routes are provided in the aircraft carrier for viewing, which will take you through the crew living area, work area, control room, etc., and tourists can also watch on the aircraft splint. There is a submarine next to the aircraft carrier, and tourists can go in and visit. Visitors can also simulate the Vietnam War environment in the adjacent garden.
