What's cooking in the BB59 galley? You'll
have to listen to Harold Nye's oral history!
"STIRRING"
MEMORIES: Stirring. Baking. Broiling. Frying.
Former BB59 cook Harold Nye did it all on USS Massachusetts.
Enlisting in the Navy early in World War II, the late Mr. Nye served in the
galley on board USS Massachusetts and continued his relationship with the
ship as a lifelong supporter of the museum
that preserves her.
As a member of
the board of directors and as a private citizen, Mr. Nye promoted the museum throughout
the region for nearly four decades. Today, visitors can listen to Mr. Nye's sea
tales in the BB59 galley on one of the many oral history monitors he generously
funded.
Incidentally, for the curious-minded,
Mr. Nye privately informed us that, yes, if you knew the right people, you could
get a pizza on board! Guess what? You still can!
