Richard Mitchell

Ships

Karissa Bower

First time seeing the boats, inside and out. These boats Brilliantly kept and documented about. Strollers ok to park on any boat if you have to bring it on. Staff is excellent.

Arthur Magat

C'est super bien entretenue et restaurer le prix de la visite vaut le coup

Geoff Warren

We only visited the Torsk and the Constitution but it was a really great experience. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and able to answer all of my questions about the history of both vessels and the operation of them too. It would have been great to see the Coast Guard ship and the Chesapeake too but we ran out of time. Expect about an hour per ship.

Wayne Barber

Checking out and going on the ships is a must do!!! Very good experience!! Riding the WWII liberty ship was awesome

Ivan Zajicek

Dedicated staff who maintain and provide info about 4 historic ships. Everything is well though out and we really enjoyed touring the ships. Student discounts are available and for the price it makes sense to see all 4 instead of picking 2. You can go at your own pace, so it can take anywhere from about 1-3 hours.

David Stevens

Fair prices, and great to be able to see such a variety of ships.

Stacy Litchford

The Harbor and the historic ships are neat to visit and learn about. They also offer some great photo opportunities. This was one of my favorite places in Baltimore as you get a reprieve from the city landscape of tall buildings and traffic for a nice water view.

Marcel Krischer

Nice renovated ships and helpful volunteers

Matt Kukuvka

Historic Ships in Baltimore was a great experience and completely worth the money. You can easily spend half a day exploring these ships, and they're located near many other things to see and do.

Ashok Vig

Nice experience

Mike G

USS Constellation (wood/sail ship) was awesome, submarine is pretty cool...other ships ok....$18 to tour all the ships (a little cheaper with military discount)

Israel Frank

Great experience

Joe Behymer

Really fun and informative tours. Price was fair and we had a great time exploring Maritime history

Johnesha Tyler

Very educational

Katie Fancher

Well priced and very interesting if you want to look at ships. Many of the vessels were difficult to move through. The submarine doors are very small and the Constellation has very low headroom through out most of the ship, but it was very interesting, especially the "surgeon" on the Constellation.

Andrei M

Nice collection of four historic ships in the inner harbor of Baltimore. It includes USS Torsk (SS-423) - Tench class submarine, USS Constellation (she was built at 1854), a lightship Chesapeake and coast guard cutter Taney. Unique collection of the ships from different time periods.

Ben Murray

Very interesting and good collection of ships to visit. Great deals and prices for tickets.

Megan Bielsky

Cool exhibit in Baltimore! Four historical ships and a lighthouse. You can buy tickets to see one, two or all of them. We did the pass to see all and spend a lovely couple of hours touring the ships. Nice to go at your own pace and check out what is important to you. Ships are well maintained! Staff mostly friendly.

Charles Day

Very interesting history, and the staff were very friendly.

David Gerster

Great level of preservation for the ships. A guided tour would be good but adequate documentation for self guided tours

Susy McCoy

Very interesting for adults and kids. My grandson is only 5 years old and he loved it.

Jennifer Bright

A lot to see if you love historic ships!

Janeen Henry

Very interesting! Loved witnessing the firing of a real cannon from that time period. Self guided tour was great- informative.

Expensive to park

Ryan Morse

This was really fun and cool to see. A little pricey but not terrible.

Gordon Smoak

Set side some time to check out these amazing exhibits

Suliman Albawardi

Woundrful place

Evan P.

What a blast! I strongly recommend seeing all four ships because each has something unique to offer. However, if you only have time for two, the USS Torsk and the USS Constellation are the best two.

Saleta Patterson

Awesome time in Baltimore. ❤❤❤

Diana De Jesus

Amazing place. You have to buy tickets if you want to see in the inside of the ship.

sanjay varasada

Beautiful harbour and weekend place

Diane Martin

Neat ships to explore and visit. Displays inside interesting and informative. Be prepared to climb up and down ladders. Not good for those with bad knees.

Michelle Gray

Beautiful ships

Meghna Rao

Awesome experience. Loved visiting the four ships and the light house. The best thing is that the tickets are valid for a whole year. Even kids will have fun. Also the location is perfect. Lots of things to do around the water front. The aquarium is near by.

Thomas Kim

(Translated by Google) It will also be in the oldest mobile ship that can be mobilized, the "Composition", submarines, fire boats and so on. In the composition, you can see the firing of the cannon in front of you. (Original) 現存する可動できる最古の戦艦「コンスティレーション」や、潜水艦、消防艇などの中にも入れます。コンスティレーションでは、大砲の発射を目の前で見る事ができます。

Лариса Ипатова

Paddle boating & Rita's

James Mccawley

Nice self guided tour

P Bouton

Great way to spend at least half a day for able bodies only.

Dan Garcia

Been here three times now on my work-related travels to DC. This waterfront area is pretty small, but worth a visit if you're in the area. The ships are kool and there's some good photo opps here. There's several restaurants located here as well. We ate at the Japanese restaurant here couple of times and it was pretty good. If your a baseball fan, the Orioles stadium is located here, too.

Andrew Tobias

Great old ships if you are into exploring old ships and submarine.

Nelson Ruiz

Nice place for a Summer walk with family and friends

bowen butler

There are several historical ships to see of all different styles and each with its own,unique history. Hours are slim 10-a very prompt 4:30 as are a lot of the Baltimore attractions, be sure to check days and times places are open as many are closed early or several days of the week.

Jannipa J

Take your time and read as much as you can there. So many things are fascinating. The staffs are nice and you should look at time schedule to see what's time they have special activities to show you. We got to see they demonstrate their small cannon!

Rachel Gans

This is a great tourists attraction and kids love it!

Zachary B.

I saw all three ships a the sub and the lighthouse what an amazing afternoon and all for just 18$ a trip through American history. I learned so much today in a short period of time great for kids and very educational

Eduardo Souza

Local muito bonito para se visitar.

Scott Collins

Great time

Megan Bolser

Kids loved learning about each of the ships & being able to enter & walk around inside of each ship! Well worth the price & nice walk to each ship!

saravanan A

Nice historic ships to see

Kassandra Jo

Came up to Baltimore during a rainy day of our vacation. This ended up being one of the kids' favorite spots. Very reasonably priced for getting to go on 3 separate ships. The favorite was the submarine and when they "shot" the cannon of the USS constellation.

Nephere Evans

Staff is very knowledgeable. They seemed like they genuinely enjoy telling visitors all about the history. The area is pretty small, but definitely worth the low entry fare. If you have some free time and are in the harbor area, I definitely recommend visiting.

D21 Hardbody

Fun time

Joel Cole

Nice historic site

Mary Williams

Totally worth doing We toured the USS Constitution and the submarine. Next time we'll do the Constitution again and maybe the lighthouse. Had a 12 year old boy and a 6 year old girl, and both enjoyed it. Admission price is very reasonable.

Mase Driskell

The sub was amazing, worth the money to see the sub alone.

Darleen Rex

Love the history

Joanna Marinovich

We spent the 4th of July at the deck party on the Constellation. It was amazing. The best 4th for us. We moved from Arizona and we had our eyes opened to how awesome Baltimore can be.

dan squires

History you can touch and feel

Lori Caldwell

The ship was AMAZING to look at but we did not pay to enter the museum. You can see the harbor here and I'd highly recommend coming in the evening to see it when it's dark and lit up as well. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby to enjoy as well as fun tourist shops.

Gabby Stephany

Dirty

Awilda Torres

First time in Baltimore .l Loved it

Kaitlyn Boll

I really enjoyed our school trip here. The ships were very interesting to tour. My favorite were the USS Constelation and the submarine.

Connie Green

We weren't planning to spend time aboard the historic ships while visiting Baltimore, but so glad we did. The fact that we did so over the Memorial Day weekend, with some special activities/ceremonies taking place just added another level.We visited the USS Constellation and the USS Taney, both with significant histories. Aboard the Constellation we had an opportunity to experience the reenactment of cannons being loaded in the old days. USS Taney's history with the Pearl Harbor attack was something we all learned about. It was interesting to see how the ships crew lived and operated aboard the ship. All in all, a very worthwhile $15/person. I would highly recommend it.

Ian Smith

Great time! Lots to learn and it's so nice to be able to touch history.

Steve the man

Cool

sebeal10

Super informative and very interesting. The staff were all welcoming, friendly, and willing to answer questions. A great way to spend an afternoon in Baltimore. There's a bit too much info provided, so I recommend being selective in what you read. Definitely worth it to go to all four ships!!

Filip N

Amazing! Submarine is great!

Marc Hamel

A wonderful adventure through time. USS Constellation is open with 4 decks to explore. Step back in time and relive old sailing life. USS Torsk. Walk from onevend to the other thru cramped passageways and hatches. Experience life in a WWII sub.

gregthepilot Henderson

We didn't go aboard the ship, but it was great to see up close.

Megan Drylie

Very reasonable price to tour 4 ships and a lighthouse in Baltimore. Our kids (5 & 7) had a good time. Lots of great, historical facts inside all the ships, One of the ships had a fun search for paw prints of a dog that had been on the ship. On another, we were in time for a sample show of firing a cannon. Lots of fun with group participation. That was my kid's favorite part.

best place to go for a leisure walk cold or hot day

Eliana Falconi

Amazing piece of history!!

Jennifer Baker

We loved touring the USS Constellation. It was fully open for touring and it was amazing to imagine what it might have been like to be on a warship back in the day. We also enjoyed touring the USS torsk which is a submarine that was in service during World War II and apparently was in service until the late sixties or early seventies. It is now permanently on display in Baltimore and open for tours.

Ezekiel Richman

Very educational!

Jonathan Cooper

Lots of interesting info to read on the USS Constellation and cool interactive demo of how they fired the cannons!

ellea Harkins

Cool

Amanda Ballard

Awesome and educational

Laureen Person

Denise Recupero

This is a beautiful spot filled with history , technology and science. My only regret is not having time to board each vessel.

Ted Avant

Fun

Nicola e Pina

Un modo molto bello un vecchio porto.

Gary Burkett

Very interesting historical displays and demonstrations by on-board sailors of period weapons and chores.

The Epic Videos

Absolutely amazing place

E P

Great looking ships. Only two were open when we went, the oldest one and the submarine. Both were amazing. They both included plaques that highlight various aspects and explain different sections. The submarine might be a bit too tight for claustrophobic people, but it was a great adventure for us and our kids. One thing I would have liked be improved is when they clean the ship’s deck. We arrived at around 11 and they were just starting to clean the deck, which was quite dirty. As they cleaned it, dirty water was making its was all over the deck. They should have done this before they opened. Otherwise, a great experience and will be back next time to see the other ships.

Love history and friendly folk

Katie Don Carlos

Great time.

mary lorz

Lots of attractions

tim hidden

Lots of great historical info. Good for day trips with the family.

Becca Anderson

Very cool exhibits and ships! We only toured two, but they were well worth the ticket. The volunteers on board are very knowledgeable and enhance the experience that much more! Absolutely incredible to see that much history in one place and I'd recommend it for visitors of all ages.

Sergio Rodríguez Vargas

Barbara Taynor

Amazing and beautiful

Julia Reil

The Historic Ships in Baltimore is a fine collection of three ships and a submarine that can be toured. The location of the ships docked in the Inner Harbor is a nice area to walk around.

Jonathan Spencer

A great experience for my 3yo.

Jewel Felder-James

I have to say I was excited at first to go on a tour on two ships I went on the first ship and it was very experiential I did love walking through the ship but as a black woman I have to say that I always felt an eerie feeling of slaves being harvested on that ship however they said that fought other slave ships in which it did have cannons and that was proof however I still felt some kind of way about it I don't know call me untrusting I forgot the name of the ships that I went to but if you go on this ship you will know that soon as you walk in it has a plaque that said that it helped in the fight to end slavery but I don't believe it however we went on to the submarine and the submarine was a little claustrophobic for me so if you have claustrophobic issues and which you literally have to walk in a line and you have to bend down to view things there are many many things that are so very interesting and very eye-catching but it definitely gives you the experience of what the people inside the submarine was feeling when they had to live there and serve their country so for that I do commend The Experience however I must say I felt a bit uncomfortable it wasn't bad but it could have been better with a tour guide to explain the things that you seen and all of the things that you saw most of the tour guys were sitting about and they really didn't explain anything but as you went in and they said oh if you have any questions just ask but you had to wait until after you was done with yourself to her to ask questions if you could remember those questions by the time you reached the top of the deck so my thing is is that if you don't have previous knowledge of these ships or submarine my caution to you is to do your research beforehand and then you can make your touring experience a bit better.

Lori Munkeboe

Really cool! Get the ticket to see all four ships and the lighthouse!

A small cat

USS Constellation gift shop/entrance to the ship/museum. They have a pressed penny machine which is I came to the museum/gift shop so I could get the lighthouse penny. I collect these pressed penny souvenirs. We did not tour any of the ships but we did check out the lighthouse ($1 admission). Ships they have are the USCGC Taney, USS Constellation, LV116 Chesapeake, and the USS Torsk. They are located at the Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore. They are spread between the piers – pier 1, 3, and 5. You can purchase a squadron pass and go to 2 ships or you can get the fleet pass and go to 4 ships. Pricing and other information are located on their website. I had e-mail correspondence with Dayna and she was very helpful with hours of operation for the lighthouse since the hours for it really depend on staffing each day. The female staff member inside of the Historic Ships USS Constellation museum was nice, kind, and friendly. The gift shop had cold drinks as well as souvenirs available like hats, ships, shirts, pens, pencils, etc.

Blake Hanson

Good experience staff is knowledgeable about the history

Thoma Riviegravere

We did the pick 2 tour for the ships. We saw the Constellation and Torsk. Each were equally amazing to look at everything. Staff on each were really friendly and answered any question we had. If we did again we would love to see the Coast Guard Cutter. Made it a point to see the ships while visiting Baltimore. It was worth the price to see them all. Each ship told a different story. Amazing to see what it was like to love and work on a Ship/Sub. Highly recommend.

Michael Brown

Great variety of well preserved historic ships. USS Constellation and a WWII submarine are the highlights.

Jon Preble

Really cool ships with knowledgeable guides. Definitely worth the money and time to check out.

Tom Hicks

Interesting to see the different ships. Lots of tight spaces and step steps but, worth it.

Luis Torres

They are amazing ships
