The Battleship Missouri Memorial will host its third �Friends and Film on the Fantail� event of the year from 5 to 9 p.m. on Saturday.
Visitors and kama�aina are invited to this event.
Guests will see the family film, �The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep� and take special tours to historic Surrender Deck and inside Gun Turret No. 1.
The evening�s featured film will be �The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep� (rated PG), a fantasy film based on Dick King-Smith�s children�s novel, �The Water Horse.� The film stars Emily Watson and Alex Etel in a story about a young boy who discovers a mysterious egg and cares for what hatches out of it � a �water horse� that later becomes the fabled Loch Ness Monster.
In addition to the film, guests will have the opportunity to tour the Battleship Missouri�s Surrender Deck, the site of Imperial Japan�s unconditional surrender on Sept. 2, 1945. (This year, the memorial will commemorate the 64th anniversary of the end of World War II with a free, public ceremony on the ship�s fantail.) The evening will also include a tour to Gun Turret No. 1, one of three main gun turrets, each supporting three 16-inch barrel guns that are the battleship�s trademark features, and is normally included in the upgraded Explorer�s Tour.
The event is free for members of the �Friends of the Mighty Mo� program. Non-members can attend for $40 per person and a guest, or $75 for a family of four. The admission price will also include a free one-year membership to the �Friends of the Mighty Mo� program.
Space is limited. Those interested in attending must RSVP at http://www.MightyMoMembers.org/rsvp.
