Boat Tour
After walking through metal detectors, we got a free tour of the USS Constitution battle ship, the oldest active Navy battle ship! It was a lot of fun! We were lead through the ship by an active Navy officer. There we felt what it was like for the men to live on this boat for months at a time!
The Visitor's Center
Not only did we get to see the actual USS Constitution, but we learned about its history as well. The visitor's center had a wonderful exhibit set up about the history of the boat. It had several panels and posters of information and even small interactive scenes where patrons could sail and dock a mini boat!
The USS Constitution Museum
Tom and I decided to visit Boston during our spring break. It was horribly cold and even snowed the day we came here during their off season! Many of the museums were closed in Boston during the off season and I'm glad this one remained open! It was one of Tom's highlights of our Boston trip! My legs were so cold and tired after all the walking in the freezing cold! The museum was nice to walk through after walking in the cold all day! It had a great history of shipping in Boston! I really learned a lot about boats, importing and exporting goods as well as pirates! It was a great time and is perfect for any age! It was nice to warm up in the museum then head to Bunker Hill!
