1. S.S. John W. Brown
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 29 reviews
One of three remaining Liberty Ships, the S.S. John Brown is open for tours by advance reservation.
Reviewed By G6820QBjamesm - Lake Norman, United States
This ship on the other side of the harbor in Baltimore is one of two World War II liberty ships that can be visited (out of almost 2700 built during the war)! The story behind the Liberty Ships is amazing-America pulled together to build the vehicles to get supplies and troops to Europe. As Americans age, the interest in the history of WWII is diminishing-a reason for us to stop and visit this example of American genius. Take the time to go under the harbor to the other side and support the fine volunteers who are keeping this history alive (at least for the time being). Thank them by showing up and admiring the American spirit in its unique form. Without our support, this ship may disappear for future generations . . .
2. Pride of Baltimore
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 47 reviews
The Pride of Baltimore is a reconstruction of an early 19th century Baltimore Clipper. These sleek, fast, and maneuverable vessels became famous as privateers during the War of 1812. Their success in capturing British merchant ships inspired the Royal Navy's attack on Baltimore in 1814. When Francis Scott Key saw the American flag still flying after the all-night bombardment of Fort McHenry, he was inspired to pen the "Star-Spangled Banner." Since her commissioning in October of 1988, Pride has represented the people of Maryland -- traveling over 250,000 nautical miles, visiting 40 countries, and docking in over 200 ports of call. Each year over 100,000 people cross her deck.

Great chance to tour a real submarine from top to bottom. Very interesting and informative piece of history. This is included as part of the Historic Ships Tour. Price is very reasonable.
4. USS Constellation
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 58 reviews
Reviewed By rhymeswithjoey - Cheney, United States
The lowest cost includes admittance of two ships to the harbor, but we only saw the Constellation. The signs around the ship tell visitors everything about the ship from the crew to the structure and the use of rooms/decks. The attendants knew the answers to questions the signs didn't answer.
