We will never forget where we were on September 11, 2001. The images of that day will torment us forever. But the images of fire and smoke, of deformed metal and chaos are not the only ones we will never forget.

We will also never forget the decisive faces of firefighters, police officers and paramedics rushing to help those in peril. We will never forget these rescue workers, coated in ash, searching for survivors, as the skeletons of skyscrapers leaned dangerously above them. We will never forget Americans lighting candles and holding hands, praying and singing, as they faced an uncertain future.

In a continuing effort to preserve a permanent record of the American Experience, Battleship Cove seeks your eyewitness accounts of the 9/11 tragedy for our award-winning oral history program. If you were at Ground Zero in New York, or a witness to the attack on the Pentagon, please contact Battleship Cove.

Meet the men of Battleship Massachusetts.

NEW ON VHS & DVD: They were ordinary men in extraordinary times: They were sailors, they were shipmates, they were heroes. Battling through the maelstrom of the Second World War, they were the men of the USS Massachusetts.

Battleship Cove has collected their stories, presented publicly for the first time in this, the premiere volume of Veterans’ Voices. This episode from the Living History Library shares the stories of Orrin Dana, Norman Davison, John Garriss, Jack Gibson, Harold Nye, Olav Sande, George Southwick, and Robert Webster as “Big Mamie” slugged through 35 major engagements in the Pacific tropics and the steely Atlantic. Filmed at each sailor’s station on board Battleship Massachusetts, these interviews chronicle the story of the ship that fired America’s first and last sixteen-inch projectiles in battle during World War II.
