Handmade pens and keyrings using teak decking that was salvaged from USS North Carolina during her 1994 – 1997 restoration project.
USS North Carolina was commissioned on the 9th of April 1941 and was put to active service immediately following her shakedown. She was involved in many successful campaigns against the Japanese during World War II and was then decommissioned on the 27th June 1947. She was kept on reserve until finally being stricken on the 1st of June 1960 and slated to be scrapped. Following a very successful fund raising campaign, on the 6th of September 1961 she was transferred to the state and became a museum ship, where she remains today.
