Battleship Cove
In a recent walk post I shared a walk in a park in Fall River that had views of Battle Ship cove and I did say I had also got some shots of the military ships in Battleship cove and I will share these with you today
You may ask what is Battleship Cove, well it is the World's largest collection of US naval ships includes a WWII battleship housing a maritime museum. and other than seeing it in the distance while driving on the highway, this was the first time I saw the ships from a better perspective.
I do want to visit the Museum at some stage when its open, of curse as is often the case with me, I was there early morning the Museum was actually closed, and to be honest at that stage i didnt know where the entrance to it was.
I went to this park to get photos of the Brage Bridge at the time not realizing the ships would be so clearly seen from this spot so it was a nice bonus
This first shot showing some of the ships and the bridge

Even though the ships were across the water it was clear how big they were I hope these images give a feel for that

From a distance so I could get all the ships in view, its a pretty impressive collection I must say

I liked the contrast of the yachts in the foreground, which to be always give a feel of peace and calmness, and then the powerful battleship in the background with those huge guns pointing skyward.

Battleships, grand metal bridges make a fine display the yachts looked out classed beneath the large sea going vessels.
Excellent to have them together times of peace and war, bridging the gap !LOLZ

Thanks for your visit it's n impressive place
The kind of history I enjoy both ships and bridges, would be lost at that museum for a day or two. Impressive to see naval flotilla in one place.

I love the views shown, I see fate decided to let you see the battleship even if it were from afar. Thanks for sharing☺☺.
That last shot really shows the grand size of the battleship looming over the pleasure yachts. According to google, battleship 59 was the USS Massachusetts.
That looks absolutely awesome!

Aww, that's huge! never saw one before
The perspective here is amazing. I can never believe how massive these ships are. Can you imagine what it must be like to man one of those? Hectic. I think that museum is probably really cool, you should definitely give it a visit.
Amazing!!! ❤️ I love the feel of this.
great technique or execution 👌

When I lived in the Bay Area and was in City of Martinez visiting, from the Martinez bridge, you could see all the ships in view, and its a pretty impressive collection of WWII ships. And it lots of ship. I bet you, there are other areas where they keep them. San Diego? Perhaps!

Ah, nice to see they still have the submarine. Visiting here is one of my best memories from childhood! I'm so glad that you were able to get these shots and share them. I hope you can make a visit into the park some day!
Nice you reminded me that we’ve been planning on going here but didn’t get up to it this fall. I haven’t been there since I was a young kid I don’t think, I don’t even remember it lol
Next summer I hope to go and actually visit the place and not just see it across the water LOL
