Historic Ships in Baltimore
Historic Ships in Baltimore, created as a result of the merger of the USS Constellation Museum and the Baltimore Maritime Museum, is a maritime museum located in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland in the United States.
The museum's collection includes four historic museum ships and one lighthouse:
- USS Constellation, a sloop-of-war
- USCGC Taney (WHEC-37), a Coast Guard cutter
- USS Torsk (SS-423), a World War II-era submarine
- Chesapeake (LV-116), a lightship
- Seven Foot Knoll Light, a screw-pile lighthouse
All are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] The three ships are also National Historic Landmarks.[2][3]
The Liberty ship SS John W. Brown is also homeported out of Baltimore.
Historic Ships in Baltimore is an affiliate of the Living Classrooms Foundation.
