About

Historic Ships in Baltimore keeps museum ships at three Inner Harbor piers. Visitors can board the sloop-of-war USS Constellation, the World War II submarine USS Torsk and the Coast Guard Cutter 37, and the Chesapeake lightship and a screw-pile lighthouse are also part of the fleet. One boarding pass covers all open ships and stays valid until used. The Torsk is closed for repairs until about November 14, and the lighthouse is closed in the colder months.
