This video shows fireworks from the upper decks of the USS New Jersey battleship docked in Camden New Jersey. The fireworks were a part of the 2013 Camden Waterfront Freedom Festival.
The USS New Jersey was built at the nearby U.S. Naval Yard in Philadelphia and began her service on Dec 7, 1942. The battleship served tours in WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and in the Lebanon conflict.
She was decommissioned on February 1991, and in October 2001 she opened for tours on the Camden waterfront.
The Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial offers tours daily, beginning at 9:30 a.m. with the last tour departing at 5 p.m.
