Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

In 1978, Fisher founded the campaign to save the historic and battle-scarred World War II aircraft carrier USS Intrepid (CV-11) from the scrapyard and transform it into America's largest naval museum. The ship became the center of New York City's Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, which hosts nearly one million visitors annually.
