The flag’s next stop is Springfield, MA and it will ultimately end its sojourn in Washington, DC.

Blast from the past of Melville , RI, which is right around the corner from where Elco 617 and Higgins 796 sit today at the museum.

61 years ago today, MASSACHUSETTS arrived in Fall River after an eighteen-year rest in the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in Portsmouth, VA and a four-day tow north. Stricken in 1962, her transfer from the Navy was made possible through the efforts of former crewmembers, business people, politicians, union groups, and most memorably, Massachusetts schoolchildren who contributed their nickels and dimes to bring the historic battleship home to her namesake state and place of birth. What followed was a furious effort to open “Big Mamie” for public visitation only two months later on August 14, 1965. And the rest, as they say, is history! Photo credit: USN 1111700
