Throughout the summer season, join Park staff or a volunteer pier side adjacent to the USS Cassin Young for a talk about the history of the Charlestown Navy Yard and the Cassin Young’s connection to the Yard. You will learn more about how the Navy Yard was established in 1800 and came to be a hub of industrialization and the lives of thousands of workers engaged in supporting the US Navy. Hear the stories of those who served on board the Cassin Young during the 1940s and 1950s, and those who tragically lost their lives during the two kamikaze attacks the ship experienced in 1945. These talks are typically 15-20 minutes in length. If there is poor weather, these talks may be cancelled.
Talks are currently not being offered. Starting July 1, visitors may take guided tours of USS Cassin Young.
