We will travel to the “Battleship Cove” at 5 Water Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, which is home to five National Historic Landmark vessels including the Battleship “USS Massachusetts”, the Destroyer “USS Joseph P. Kennedy”, the submarine “USS Lionfish”, PT Boats “617” and “796”, and the Russian ship “Hiddensee”.  Everyone will get to sleep in the same authentic bunks that the sailors slept in; learn how the sailors lived and worked on board; participate in special activities (knot-tying, Storytelling, Morse Code); gather round to watch an action-packed feature film; “mingle” with veterans who made history; and have a full dinner and breakfast in the battleship’s Wardroom.   You can get more information at www.battleshipcove.org.  We plan on gathering early Saturday morning (November 14th) at OLPH, driving up, staying overnight and returning on Sunday (November 15th).  There are other museums to visit and people can leave as early or late as they want on Sunday (we just have to have our gear off of the battleship by 10:30 am on Sunday morning).  The cost is $65.00 per person.  With the troop subsidy, it will end up being $30 per scout (and $65 per adult).  We are also going try and work in a visit to the Submarine Force Museum in Groton, Connecticut on the way up or on the way back.  This is the home of the historic ship “Nautilus”, the world’s first nuclear Submarine.  The cost of this would be separate and in addition to the cost of Battleship Cove.  We have 35 seats reserved.  After that it is only available if there are more spots available on the ship.  If you want to go…sign up quickly!  Payment has to be sent out by October 30th.  If there are any questions, please email me cjmellone@gmail.com or call me at 201-755-2627.
