"Big Mamie." The biggest collection of WWII vessels in the USA. Make a trip to Battleship Cove.
Lots to see at Battleship Cove. Even a couple PT boats (John Wayne, movie time). The battleship, can take two or more hours to walk-through. You also have destroyers, a Russian frigate, and American submarine. Plan on four hours, minimum. And every minute is well worth the exhilaration.
Front view of the USS Massachusetts. "Big Mamie."
Always in my images. Give me a break! The parents. Check-out those guns! Sometimes, to win a argument...you gotta bring the Big guns.
Black & white, is most appropriate. Makes ya feel like watching the movie, "In Harm's Way."
Gloucester. America's fishing village. Like any village/town. Gloucester, has the very elite and the extremely poor living in the community.
Pod of Humpbacks. They were extremely close. Going under the boat at times and surfacing alongside.
Oh! Captain!! There be whales! We saw four separate pods of Humpback whales. Well worth the tour. The Captains, know very well where whale pods are, each time of day. Some tours may take three hours. Others may take six hours. Depends where the whales be.
Leaving Gloucester, on a whale watch tour. Be sure to take a tour on the smallest boat. More room, and less trampling to get images of whales.
Very expensive resort near Gloucester, MA.
