Historic Ships in Baltimore

Maryland Fleet Week is a great time to explore our local Maritime Heritage assets. Baltimore is home to a fleet of historic American vessels, each with its own unique story and claim to fame. The ships are operated as museums by Living Classrooms Foundation under Historic Ships in Baltimore, and are open free for touring during Maryland Fleet Week Thursday-Monday. We hope you'll stop by, but if you are not able, please enjoy a virtual look by clicking on the ships below.
