Albacore Park is a National Historic Landmark site located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The park features a maritime museum, gift shop, and memorial garden, while offering self-guided tours through a preserved submarine known as the USS Albacore (AGSS-569).
The USS Albacore was built at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and launched in 1953 by the U.S. Navy as a research submarine. Decommissioned in 1972, the USS Albacore was later brought to what is now known as Albacore Park, where it was landlocked and opened to the public in 1986. Visitors can go inside this historical submarine, look through the periscope, and explore the control room, engineering spaces and bunk rooms. Recordings by former crew members share fascinating stories from their time aboard the submarine. Come take a tour!
