Historic Ships In Baltimore

baltimoreships

By Angela Ash

The Inner Harbor area of Baltimore boasts many attractions... truly something to entertain everyone.  However, this just might be my favorite! 

Imagine, exploring some of the best preserved ships in the country.  You can touch, climb down ladders, squeeze through tunnels, an duck through doorways.  But best of all, you can immerse yourself in great moments of our nation's history.  You may visit one or two ships, or all four, including a lighthouse. 

The Historic Ships collection consists of the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse, the USS Constellation, USCG Cutter Taney, Lightship Chesapeake, and the magnificent submarine USS Torsk. Walking onto any of these vessels is like stepping back in history.  In an almost museum-like setting, you can view artifacts, learn about life on board, or explore on your own.

For more information, you may visit Baltimore's Historic Ships online, or call (410) 539-1797.
