Item Description
Get your kids on board and reserve your bunks! Spend an evening on board a WWI battleship as you journey through a time when an alarm to general quarters stirred thousands of young men into action. See how sailors lived and fought for the freedoms we enjoy today and discover how the ship was like a floating city with a post office,laundry, soda fountain, brig, dentist office, sick bay, barber shop and bakery, to name a few.
The experience includes 2-day paid admission, 3 complete meals, feature films shown on board Big Mamie, a rotating schedule of knot-tying, Morse Code classes, flag-folding presentation, story-telling, and historical re-enactments and storytelling.
Battleship Cove, located in Fall River, MA, is the world's largest collection of historic naval ships. Conveniently located just one hour from Boston, Battleship Cove hosts five National Historic Landmarks: Battleship Massachusetts, Destroyer Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Submarine Lionfish, and PT Boats 617 and 796. Battleship Cove is also home to the Soviet-built Missile Corvette Hiddensee, the only one on display in the world. Battleship Cove is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Official Memorial for citizens who lost their lives in WWII as well as the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf Wars and the September 11 terrorist attacks.
