About Historic Ships in Baltimore

Historic Ships in Baltimore is a maritime museum in the Inner Harbor that was formed when the USS Constellation Museum and the Baltimore Maritime Museum combined. Visitors can tour five vessels: the sloop-of-war USS Constellation, the Treasury-class USCG Cutter 37, the LS-116 Chesapeake lightship, the submarine USS Torsk, and the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse. The site also offers guided tours, overnight and evening programs, education programs, and living history events aboard the ships.
