USS Constitution and Museum
Aside from its yearly trip around the harbor, the USS Constitution is docked at the Charlestown Navy Yard. This historic ship has seen many a battle, and is quite fun to explore. Nearby you’ll find the USS Constitution Museum, which is one of my favorite nautical-themed museums in the country (and I’ve visited many). The hands-on exhibits make it fun to interact with history, from hoisting a sail to swinging in a hammock.
Check ahead of your visit to see if the ship is in repairs. (As of this writing, it’s closed to the public–but the museum is still open.)
