Memorials at Battleship Cove.

Battleship Cove is home to an exhibit (at left) and two memorials that honor the victims of the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor. Dedicated by the Massachusetts Chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, the memorials are located on board USS Massachusetts at Turret Three and inside the BB59 Memorial Room.

The largest monument to any Bay State victim of Pearl Harbor, however, spans directly over Battleship Cove. The Braga Bridge, a stretch of I-195 that connects Fall River to Swansea, is named after Charles Braga, a USS Pennsylvania sailor who was the first Fall River man to die in World War II.

Japan's greatest victory would herald her inevitable defeat.

WOMEN PROTCTING US: While formal military status for US women began in 1942, women have always borne the burden of military conflict. Often unrecognized, their contributions paved the way for the legions of women...Ctd.

PEARL HARBOR EXHIBIT: Step back into 1941 and learn what happened on that mild December morning when the Japanese delivered a near-fatal blow to the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Battleship Cove's Pearl Harbor exhibit, located on the second deck of USS Massachusetts, details the events of this day, and the effect Pearl Harbor had in bolstering a nation's resolve to defeat tyranny.
