DIVE! Scoot over to Providences Collier Point Park and investigate the Juliett 484, a former nuclear cruise missile submarine, the same one that starred with Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson in K-19: The Widowmaker. The restored sub, retired after thirty years of patrolling the seas, is the only one of its kind in the northern hemisphere. Docents are stationed at strategic places to answer questions. Guides are also available or you can opt to take a self-guided bow-to-stern tour. A six-and-a-half-minute video will help start you on your way. Wear sneakers or boots no open toes, please. And be prepared: youre going to have to swing unassisted through a hatch before youre allowed to purchase a ticket
