Nahant Oceanological Society

The Nahant Oceanological Society is a location appearing in Fallout 4.

Layout
This location consists of two buildings: a house and a laboratory next to it.

Inside the house there are two floors, with two Mr. Handy robots employed as "Oceanographical Instructors" that may list off random facts about marine life. A door on the second floor of the house can be unlocked with Casey's key (which is found in a toolbox in the cabin of the wrecked boat just southeast of the house, along a small spit), behind which is a steamer trunk.

The entrance door to the laboratory opens onto a catwalk level, which has a Chemistry station, a locked (Master) steamer trunk and a ramp leading to the lower level. Downstairs is a Power armor station, an Expert locked safe (which can be unlocked by the terminal next to it), and Novice locked first aid box. Several Ammo boxes can also be found around the laboratory.

Notable loot

 * A Vault-Tec lunchbox can be found in the kitchen inside the house.
 * An issue of the Wasteland Survival Guide can be found in the room with a weapons workbench inside the house.

Appearances
The Nahant Oceanological Society only appears in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes

 * The Nahant Oceanological Society is likely based on the real world Northeastern University Marine Science Center, both are located on the eastern tip of Nahant. The name suggests it may also be partially inspired by the much larger Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, although this is one hundred miles south of Nahant, and not part of the Fallout 4 game map.
 * Interestingly, the real world Marine Science Center is situated on land which housed a Nike missile site during the Cold War, deployed to defend the Boston area against nuclear attack by Soviet bombers.
