U.S.S. Constellation
The last surviving ship of the Civil War.
This ship was launched in 1854 from the Gosport Navy Yard in Norfolk, Virginia.
She has 20,000 square feet of sails and is the last all-sail warship built
by the U.S. Navy. She captured slave ships during the Civil War. She provided
famine relief to Ireland and served as a training ship in the late 1800's.
She gave service during World War II as a relief flagship of the Atlantic
Fleet and flagship of Battleship Group 5.
In 1955, she came to Baltimore
and by 1968 was placed in her permanent berth in the Inner Harbor. To help
with her restoration send tax deductible donations to:
