BattleShip Cove
Massive tanker helped out by some tugs passing through an opening bridge at Battleship Cove, Fall River, Massachusetts.

Placemark: This spot / Google Earth is what gives Battleship Cove its name. Here is the website for the decommisioned ship museum.
Just so you know, that’s not the bridge for the battleships. It’s just a draw bridge that they’ll be replacing with that development you see just above it in the water.
The battleships, however, are below that right at the other bridge which can be seen easily because it goes from light to dark water.
Damn, should have read the other one first
I used to live around Fall River and I can’t tell you how many times I got stuck on the Brightman St. Bridge when it had to open to let some huge tanker get through… some days it was worth turning around and taking the Braga Bridge.
Now that was a tight fit!
