5OTH ANNIVERSARY CEREMONY

From 2:00PM to 3:00PM

On the day that Battleship Cove opened as a museum 50 years ago, we will celebrate this special occasion and honor those who had the vision and drive to bring the ship to Fall River in the first place. Entrance to the ceremony on the battleship is by invitation only; the public is welcome to view the ceremony from a satellite location on the Battleship Cove pier. Spirit of America will be performing the national anthem and other inspirational music. Spirit of America is a 45-piece Fife and Drum Corps playing traditional music on wooden, key-less fifes and rope-tension drums. The corps uniform is an exact replica of the musicians´ uniforms from the First U.S. Infantry Regiment in the War of 1812. The USS Massachusetts has the longest-meeting crewmembers reunion group of any Navy ship. This year, these veterans celebrate their 70th and final reunion with a ceremony and 21-gun salute. Open to the public.
