The United States Naval Shipbuilding Museum lets you experience life on board what was once one of the Navy's most powerful class of cruisers in the world. The USS Salem CA-139 is now the worlds only preserved heavy cruiser.  She is moored at her birthplace, the former Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Our Overnight Adventure offers participants activities that include simulated combat situations such as radar tracking, damage control and simulated fire fighting. Other activities include scavenger hunts, cold water survival, hoisting, and first aid lessons. 

Its the hands-on aspect of our program that make us unique.  Our Adventurers get access to areas of the ship off-limits to regular guests. They even sleep in the same bunks used by naval personnel and eat in the same mess decks.   So, are you ready for a Shipboard Adventure?

This summer we scheduled two dates for our 1st Family Overnight Adventure Program. Over 100 people spent the weekend aboard the USS Salem experiencing life on a real navy ship. Because of the success of our Family Overnight we will now be adding Family spots to our regular Overnight Adventure Program, so if you missed out on the August dates you can still get a chance to have your own Overnight Adventure!
