Battship Cove - a maritime museum in Massachusetts. A hidden gem!

On day 2 of our pleasure trip to Rhode Island, we decided to visit a place called the 'Battleship Cove" found inside the tourist guide book in our hotel. From the photo below it seemed like a fun little place.

Boy, was I wrong.

This place was massive!

According to their web page, this place has the world's largest collection of World War II naval vessels and the largest of them all is the USS Massachusetts (BB-59).

I spent a nice (but extremely hot) afternoon sketching a few vessels, planes and helicopters.
