PT Boat Museum, Maritime museum in Fall River, Massachusetts, US
The PT Boat Museum at Battleship Cove exhibits two National Historic Landmark vessels: an 80-foot Elco boat PT 617 and a 78-foot Higgins boat PT 796.
During World War II, these patrol torpedo boats conducted coastal raids and reconnaissance missions, making them essential components of naval warfare operations.
The museum maintains an extensive collection of wartime artifacts and photographs that document the experiences of PT boat crews in both Pacific and Atlantic theaters.
Located within Battleship Cove, the museum provides guided tours, educational programs, and access to the interior sections of preserved military vessels.
Visitors can examine the only surviving pair of restored PT boats on public display, which demonstrate different construction methods from Elco and Higgins manufacturers.
