Floating rock festival for a cause aboard Royal Caribbean International’s, Independence of the Seas, February 22-February 26, 2024 from Miami, FL

The Independence of the Seas from Royal Caribbean is one of the biggest, fastest and most luxurious passenger vessels in service today, served by a crew of 1365 on 15 decks. With a gross tonnage of 154,407, it can truly be said that the rock-themed benefit voyage will be a “heavy” experience for both bands and fans. The ship, almost as long as four football fields, cruises at 21.6 knots and is scheduled for a port stop in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.

The main attraction of the cruise is, of course, multiple performances by the Rock Legends bands aboard. The ship offers no fewer than three performance venues for Rock Legends Cruise bands: The Deck, The Platinum Theater and Studio B/Ice Rink. All artists will perform 2-3 shows, festival style and a schedule of performances will be released closer to the sail date. This format will allow individuals to come and go between venues to see different bands. Our aim is to allow each and every Rock Legends Cruise passenger to have an opportunity, over the course of the voyage, to see the bands they wish to see. The ship also features on-board surfing thanks to its FlowRider wave generator, a full-sized volleyball/basketball court, cantilevered whirlpools and range of gourmet restaurants.

A rusty barge on the Brunswick River went from eyesore to local lore

rock of legends cruise

The Wilmington area has lost lots of landmarks over the decades.

One of the more curious sights that's no longer with us? The so-called USS Belville, later controversially re-christened the USS Leland. (More on that in in a minute).

For those of you who moved to Wilmington or northern Brunswick County less than 30 years ago, the "USS Belville" was a rusty old barge that sat in the Brunswick River off U.S. 17 South and U.S. 74/76 West, just before the exit into Leland and Belville.

Until it sank in 1995, the barge was clearly visible to passers-by on the highway.

According to a 2009 StarNews story , the 185-foot steel barge was built in 1907 at Port Richmond, New York, and named the Harry J. Sheridan. After sinking in the harbor at Norfolk, Virginia, the barge was raised and for reasons lost to time towed to this area, where it ran (or was run) aground in the Brunswick River and more or less abandoned.

Graffiti artists gave it several pithy monikers over the years, including "Down South Junki." The name that stuck, however, came after Belville was incorporated in 1977 and someone painted "USS Belville" on the barge in large, white letters. As noted by retired StarNews reporter Ben Steelman in his 2009 story, the name was both a dig at Belville's tiny size and likely a reference to the nearby USS North Carolina, aka the Battleship North Carolina.

With its highly visible location combined with its decrepit appearance, the USS Belville quickly became a part of local lore. The '80s were the heyday for the barge, a time when local radio DJs in Wilmington would run gag giveaways for USS Belville cruise tickets.

In 1983 a Wilmington rock band called The Ravens played a concert on the ship's deck with the aid of a generator, possibly inspired by The Beatles' historic 1969 rooftop concert.

Here's where the controversy comes in. Perhaps because of their close proximity, Leland and Belville have long had a contentious relationship. The town of Leland was incorporated in 1989, partly in response to Belville increasing its size via annexation .

Not long after that, someone climbed aboard the USS Belville, crossed out the world "Belville" and "renamed" it the USS Leland.

Less than four years later in 1993, a big storm caused the boat to shift and sink almost entirely below the waterline. Two years later, the boat sank entirely.

In any event, thanks to work on the bridge that crosses from Eagles Island over the Brunswick River, the area where the barge was is no longer easily visible to most passers-by. As of 2009, the barge was still beneath the Brunswick River, with the U.S. Corps of Engineers telling the StarNews it couldn't be moved because nearby bridges made it essentially impossible to tow.

But legends never die, and the USS Belville will still exist, at least in local imaginations, for a long time yet.
