Nautical Nights at Battleship Cove

Did you know that Battleship Cove pioneered overnight camping on board naval vessels? It all began in 1972 when a Boy Scout leader asked Paul Vaitses, then Battleship Cove's executive director, "Is it possible for my scout group to spend a night aboard?" Mr. Vaitses promptly replied, "Absolutely!"

Climb up the gangway, gaze at the masts, and marvel at the 16" guns, the 40MM mounts, the turrets and the superstructure. You'll be thinking to yourself, "I can't believe we'll be spending the night on board!"

An overnight visit to Battleship Cove is special. Camping on board one of the mightiest defenders of freedom truly is an unforgettable experience. Visit this link for more information, or ask you Mom or Dad to contact our group sales manager to book your group's bunks today!

HORSE AROUND AT THE FALL RIVER CAROUSEL: The Fun House. The Comet. The Carousel. For decades these rides made Lincoln Park a fixture in North Dartmouth, MA. A place where families congregated for wholesome entertainment, Lincoln Park attracted a laundry list of celebrity guests, including everyone from Eleanor Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy, and now this spectacular attraction is thriving in its new home at Battleship Cove.
