Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot, Former naval ammunition facility in Hingham, Massachusetts, United States.
The military complex occupied 990 acres along the Weymouth Back River and included 90 buildings connected by an internal telephone system.
The facility operated from 1903 to 1961 as the Hingham Naval Reserve, serving as a major supplier of munitions for the United States Navy.
The site transformation into Bare Cove Park represents the shift from military infrastructure to public recreational space in American communities.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducts regular investigations to ensure the former ammunition depot grounds remain safe for public use.
The facility contained fifteen industrial cranes and specialized storage bunkers designed for handling various types of naval ammunition.
