BOSTON (June 30, 2012) Visitors admire the view as coalition ships sit pierside during Boston Navy Week. This celebration is one of 15 signature events planned across America in 2012. The eight-day long event commemorates the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, hosting service members from the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard and coalition ships from around the world.
