United States Naval Shipbuilding Museum
The United States Naval Shipbuilding Museum is a private non-profit museum in Quincy, Massachusetts featuring USS ''Salem'' (CA-139), a heavy cruiser docked at the former Fore River Shipyard where she was laid down in 1945. The museum was established in 1993 in response to efforts by local officials and volunteers to revive the shipyard area after operations at Fore River ended in 1986. Several exhibits on board ''Salem'' relating to United States naval history and shipbuilding are featured along with dockside fixtures and a miniature golf course.
==History==
In 1986, General Dynamics Corporation shut down its shipbuilding facility at Weymouth Fore River in Quincy, signaling the end of a 102 year history of shipbuilding operations along the Fore River and 85 years at the site in Quincy Point. Various plans were offered at the time for use of the shipyard, but in 1992 a group of volunteers came up with one partial solution: the purchase and relocation of a ship built at the shipyard to be reborn as a museum celebrating the history of the yard. With help from local officials, the museum was established in 1993 by an act of the Massachusetts General Court to "acquire, refurbish and maintain United States naval ships and the adjacent physical complex in order that it will () as a major attraction for local citizens and tourists."〔State Library of Massachusetts Archives, 1993 ()〕 After earlier attempts to obtain use of USS ''Lexington'' (CV-16), in 1994 the city and the volunteer group successfully negotiated the relocation of ''Salem'' from Philadelphia with the Naval Sea Systems Command. On 30 October 1994 ''Salem'' returned to Quincy to be permanently docked where she was built nearly five decades before.
