Tourism Cares to Help Revive USS Iowa
On the heels of a successful volunteer effort to help restore Miami Marine Stadium, Tourism Cares has announced its next initiative – reviving the USS Iowa, which has been called the world’s greatest naval ship. Tourism Cares will partner with Pacific Battleship Center, which maintains the museum ship, as part of its contribution to development of the Los Angeles waterfront, the Port of Los Angeles and Catalina Island. Tourism Cares brought 325 volunteers together on May 30 to help clear out tons of debris from Miami Marine Stadium and plant hundreds of trees at historic Virginia Key Beach Park.
