Bernie,

Do the boats have open decks, similar to Circle Line boats? Once I took a trip and could not make any pictures, boat had plastic windows.

Military Ocean Terminal was taken over by the military in World War II and is now mostly closed. Still active is an enormous "graving dock," a dry-dock cut into land. In 1992, Queen Elizabeth 2, en route from Halifax, ran aground near Martha's Vineyard. She was brought here for emergency repairs.
