The USS Intrepid was a WW2 Aircraft Carrier that is now used as a Floating Museum located at Pier 86 in Hudson Park, Manhattan. She is famous for being the recovery ship for the Mercury and Gemini space capsules.
One of the Intrepids’ more famous ‘guests’ is the G-BOAD, a British Airways Concorde also known as Alpha Delta. G-BOAD is famous for holding the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing by a passenger aircraft in 1996, completing a flight from New York to London in 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds.
The Concorde isn’t the only famous guest onboard the Intrepid. The space shuttle Enterprise (OV-101) is also on display here. The Enterprise is the prototype orbiter that paved the way for the space shuttle program. Although it was only used for atmospheric tests, it never had its engines fitted and never made it into space.
