The USS Constellation is the last sail-only warship built by the United States Navy and the last intact naval ship from the U.S. Civil War. The sloop-of-war was built between 1853 and 1855. The construction used material salvaged from the disassembled frigate USS Constellation.
The ship is now a functioning museum in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, moored at Constellation Dock. The USS Constellation is part of the Historic Ships in Baltimore. Other Historic Ships in Baltimore include a Coast Guard cutter, a World War II submarine, the Seven Foot Knoll Light, and the lightship Chesapeake.

Patrons can participate in a Parrott rifle drill, experience a tour and speak with a crew member about the ship and its history. Aboard, four decks are restored to represent the same appearance from her days serving in the Civil War.
The museum included about 50,000 artifacts, mainly documents, and photographs. Personal items have been donated by the descendants of former crew members.
