Battleship Cove, located on scenic Mt. Hope Bay, harbors the largest collection of preserved US Navy ships in the world. The fleet includes five National Historic Landmarks: Battleship USS Massachusetts, Destroyer USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Submarine USS Lionfish, and PT Boats 617 and 796. Individually, each ship represents different moments in history and technical achievements; collectively, these vessels symbolize American sacrifices made in defense of our freedom. Scout can have fun:
- exploring every nook, cranny and exhibit of the entire Battleship Cove fleet;
- sleeping in the same authentic bunks that the sailors slept in;
- learning how the sailors lived and worked on board;
- participating in engaging special activities;
- gathering ’round to watch an action-packed feature film;
- mingling with veterans who made history;
- having a full dinner and breakfast in the Officer’s Wardroom (all included in the price of your stay);
- and more!
