EDUCATION
Help us prepare kids to be the responsible leaders of the next generation. Our education department seeks:

• veterans to speak about their military service with Scouts and youth groups
• professional engineers to help teachers and kids understand technology in the RITE Program
• professional scholars to assist in the creation of new interpretive displays/exhibits and improvements to existing ones

HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Are you a skilled tradesworker, or even a gifted handyman? Maybe you're a bookworm who loves sifting through paperwork. The curator needs your help in:

• Detail work including the restoration of fixtures such as fans, battle lanterns, lamps, etc.
• Electronics repair including restoration of our vacuum tube radio equipment
• Research including the organization, classification, and archiving of a vast amount of artifacts, books, and documents
  

PUBLIC RELATIONS
Are you a "people-person"? Or maybe you prefer the "behind-the-scenes" action. Battleship Cove's office of development and marketing has a job for you. Become a vital volunteer in this department by:

• meeting and greeting the various groups that visit our ships daily
• spearheading direct mail campaigns for special events and fundraising goals

KEEPING US IN STITCHES: Battleship Cove is saddened to report the passing of volunteer Ludwig “Don” Donofrio, whose friendly face was a fixture in the battleship’s tailor shop for many years; on any given day, this long-time volunteer could be found busy repairing canvas bunks, flags, and safety netting. A veteran of virtually every class of surface ship in the fleet, Don once even served on board the Reina Mercedes, a prize of the Spanish American War. One of the most distinguished members of the Cove’s volunteer corps, Don was honored for his years of dedication to Battleship Cove with the President’s Special Award from the Historic Naval Ship Association in 2002.
