Quincy’s proud shipbuilding history comes to life aboard this Cold War-era heavy cruiser.

Onboard exhibits feature memorabilia of over 100 U.S. Naval Cruisers including the City’s namesake U.S.S. Quincy and U.S.S. Newport News, a Military Weapons Display and Archives, and Model Ships collection.See more..
