Hingham Shipyard Cinemas 6

This cinema is located in a free-standing building (actually 2 buildings) overlooking the retail parking lot which is just to the north of the immense parking lot for the ferry docks. There is a rectangular building which contains the auditoriums; it has a row of pilasters along the west wall, with small poster frames. To its left is a seperate smaller building which contains the entrance and lobby. It has a nautical/ maritime look about it. There is an attraction board above with space for 2 or 3 movie titles, and more poster frames. It’s all new construction, not an adaptation of an existing older shipyard building. Down in back there is a very nice walkway along the waterfront. There are many historic information panels about the WW2 shipyard, including a complete list of ships built there. I never realized that they built so many ships for the British Royal Navy there. Depending on the ferry schedules, it might be possible to travel from downtown Boston by ferry to attend movies at this cinema.

It’s located close to the east side of Route 3A, just south of the bridge from North Weymouth. Nearby is the ferryboat terminal for commuter ferries to and from Boston.
