Battleship Cove has been providing the preservation of both the military heritage of the New England region and that of the United States since 1965. A non-profit memorial and museum located in Fall River, Massachusetts, veterans, families, schools, Scouts, and interested visitors from around the world have walked the decks of these historic vessels and viewed the legendary aircraft on display.

With Five National Historic Landmark US Naval ships and other craft, Battleship Cove is America's Fleet Museum.  You will experience firsthand what it was like to serve on board a Navy warship in WWII and the Vietnam War era. ​

Beyond the history of these vessels is courage, honor, and patriotism that we invite you to learn more about as you explore how our military personnel served our nation! While America's Fleet Museum has been known for decades for our historic naval ships, our fleet of aircraft are both iconic and prominent in American aviation.  Centered on helicopters, our collection includes two Vietnam War combat veterans and two of the first drone unmanned aerial vehicles used by the military!

Battleship Cove presents and maintains a diverse number of exhibits to complement our ships, aircraft, and mission.  We are always expanding and updating these displays to enhance our educational outreach and to provide the visitor with a fun learning experience. Some of our exhibit highlights include: National PT Boat Museum, As home to the National PT Boat Museum, Battleship Cove displays the world's largest collection of PT boat artifacts and memorabilia.
