Description
USS Constellation Mast Rigging - Baltimore Inner Harbor,
This is some of the rigging on the historic USS Constellation which is anchored at the Baltimore Inner Harbor in Maryland. What a site to see.
The last Civil War vessel afloat, the USS Constellation, was built in 1854 and is the last all-sail warship built by the US Navy. After years of restoration, she was returned to the Inner Harbor on July 2, 1999.
Commissioned in 1855, the U.S.S. Constellation was the last all-sail ship built by the United States Navy. Today the historic vessel lies "at anchor" (nautical term - actually the Constellation is tied up to a pier) in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, where visitors can climb aboard and get a firsthand look at what the sailors life was like in days past. You can see it from afar or pay a fee and climb aboard. Emmy Vickers,
