YAGR'S SPECIAL PROJECTS

Battleship Cove
Fall River, MA

Our  YAGR'S ASSOCIATION members who have dedicated a lot of time at Battleship Cove, building our exhibit, have been asked to help with other projects with the ships anchored there.  We will show these projects and describe what was accomplished by providing pictures and descriptions.   Thanks to those who have dedicated their time and expertise.

As we all know, a single ship requires constant maintenance.  Multiply that by four and you have one huge task.  And then start adding new exhibits onboard the ships and the workload is made even more enormous.

          The four ships at Battleship Cove:

                   Battleship Massachusetts
                   Destroyer Kennedy
                   Submarine Lionfish
                   Soviet-built Missile Corvette Hiddensee  

In this section of the YAGR’S web pages we hope to show what YAGR’S has done in our support of Battleship Cove -- not just by our yearly donation, but also by volunteering our services with the upkeep on the ships and by the building of shipboard exhibits. While we do have a group of former Radar Picket Ship Crewmen who do the actual shipboard work, the entire YAGR’S Association stands behind them. 

Also, it should be noted that YAGR’S may be doing the work but Battleship Cove or the exhibit sponsors furnishes all the materials and supplies, and we do have the full support of the Battleship Cove’s staff.
