floating history

If you are crossing Boston, then you can visit Charlestown Navy Yard, one of the oldest shipyards in the United States. Since 1974, the National Park Service has managed it. Among other attractions you can find the free museum ship USS Cassin Young at Pier 1 or Pier 2, a WWII destroyer. There is a box to leave a tip and a person stationed at the entrance, as sometimes there are too many people trying to visit the destroyer, and to guilt you to leave something. The Fletcher-class destroyer, 114 meters in length, launched September 12, 1943 and was named after a brave sea captain who survived the Pearl Harbor attack but died in combat during the Battle of Guadalcanal a year later.
