The USS Constellation is the last sailing ship built by the US Navy and the last surviving Civil War ship. Nice little museum with old photos and such...but the real star is the ship itself. Top deck is well maintained. Down the stairs is where you need to be short or bend a lot. Also claustrophobic the further down you... more

My wife and I spent 1 day downtown Baltimore in August on our east coast road trip. We bought the 2 ship ticket and started on the Constellation. We were given self guiding speaker things to hang on our necks. You would walk to a part of the ship and find a number plate, then punch in the number on... more

This ship is the only vessel still afloat that saw active service during the Civil War. It also intercepted several ships that were importing slaves from Africa and freed them in Liberia. This ship is part of the Historic Ships of Baltimore program and can be viewed alone or in conjunction with the other 3 ships docked, as well as... more

I have been on a few old ships in my travels but this was my first wooden ship. It was so cool to see the lay out and craftsmenship that went in to these ships. From the top deck do the bowles of the ship there is something you may have never seen before. Without doubt the deck is the... more

If your in Baltimore to tour the area, this is a must, in my opinion. I actually enjoyed the WWII submarine the most. It is humbling to imagine our soldiers fighting for our freedom, risking their lives on such a vessel. There is even a photo and memorial to one of the sailors who lost his life on the sub.... more

While touring Baltimore this past weekend, decided to board the USS Constellation. Having never been on an old ship like this I was looking forward to it. The boat is in the middle of renovation but don't let that deter you from visiting. It is mostly on the outside of the ship right now. We took the audio wands and... more

The restored ship is in beautiful shape and immaculate. Upon entering you are greeted by staff dressed in period costumes and given a recorded tour device to listen to as you go to various points on the ship. Unfortunately, even though you can hang it around your neck it is cumbersome and each time you reach a certain point you... more

The USS Constellation, recently refurbished and now back in port at Baltimore's Inner Habor, is more than just an interesting backdrop for photographs. If you don't come aboard you'll miss a unique experience that helps you make a connection to the Navy's age of sail. The ship, built in 1850 and named after the Revolutionary War vessel of the same... more
