LST-325 @ Massachusetts Maritime Academy W/Pics

LST-325, the last surviving operational LST is at MMA and open for tours. She will be pierside June 4,5,6,7. Tours are available Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday from 09:00-17:00. The Academy is located in Buzzards Bay, MA.

The address is:
101 Academy Drive
Buzzards Bay, MA
02532

I have already taken the tour, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that all modelers in New England come see this amazing ship.

If someone is willing to host a couple of pics for me, I have some (150+) available of the LST.

Tour cost $10 for Adults & $5 for kids.

You can host the pics at www.photobucket.com there are other photo-hosting sites out there, but this is the one I use the most. Unfortunately, I won't be able to take the tour as its a little far for me to travel.

I just had the tour this afternoon, an excellent experience. The good news is the ship will be in Boston for a couple weeks before going to Gloucester for a few days before returning south.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

This wonderful ship was at one time here in Alabama. It most likely would have stayed, but, the local counties and state legislature would not help out with money to keep her in the state. An effort was started to try and keep her here but failed. What a great addition to the USS Alabama Battleship park in Mobile. Goodluck to her new surroundings...we miss her greatly. Take good care of her.
