This scenic waterfront is filled with historic ships, dating as far back as the Civil War in the case of the USS Constellation.

Enjoy a bird's-eye view of the harbor from atop Federal Hill Park, or if you prefer the view that inspired “The Star Spangled Banner,” head out to Fort McHenry, known for its role in the War of 1812.
