Battleship Cove

Sitting in the waters of Mount Hope Bay, under the shadow of the Braga Bridge, is the largest collection of World War II naval vessels in the world. Along with its namesake battleship, the U.S.S. Massachusetts, the cove is home to a destroyer, a submarine, two PT boats, and a Soviet Corvette. There are also several aircraft, portions of other ships, and many related displays. The best part of the museum is climbing around inside all these old ships. There are very few places off limits and it provides a very physical view of how life was lived on each type of vessel. This museum will wear you out if you try to climb through everything in a short time, but it is well worth a look even if you only have an hour or two. – My SAS score: 5
