Battleship Cove

Just south of Boston, along Bristol Bay, you'll find an impressive collection of historic vessels at a hidden gem of a museum. Highlights include Joe Kennedy Jr.'s destroyer, the Battleship Massachusetts, a submarine, and two PT boats—one similar to the type JFK commanded in the Pacific during World War II. The collection also features a captured German WWII boat, a helicopter, and a troop transport vessel used during the Normandy beach landings. It’s a remarkable display, especially for a smaller museum, offering a powerful glimpse into naval history. If you're visiting South Boston, we highly recommend heading under the Bristol Bridge to explore this charming Marine Boat Museum—a worthwhile stop for history buffs and curious travelers alike.
