The Battleship North Carolina puzzle by photographer Peter Doran pays tribute to the famous battleship moored in Wilmington, NC. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a proud piece of history.
About the Artwork
The Battleship North Carolina served in World War II. Today, it’s a memorial and museum that welcomes visitors from all over.
In addition, Peter Doran captured the ship in fine detail. As a result, you can see its guns, decks and towers up close.
Because it’s a photograph, the puzzle shows the true colors of the ship, water and sky.
If you enjoy this design, be sure to look at Highway 12 and Lighthouses of North Carolina, also by Peter Doran.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the ship, using its gray hull as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the guns and towers. After that, piece together the water. Finally, fill in the sky, sorting those pieces by shade.
