USS Constellation Museum

Historic Ships in Baltimore will fabricate and install interpretive exhibits at the new USS Constellation Education and Heritage Center, a space visitors will encounter prior to visiting the ship. The exhibit will provide an introduction to the USS Constellation, specifically focusing upon its tour just prior to the Civil War as flagship of the U.S. African Squadron and as a liberator of Africans destined for slavery, and information about the lives of sailors serving aboard. With the implementation of this exhibition the museum will have an opportunity to provide an updated interpretation of the ship and associated artifacts from their collection, and visitors will gain a greater understanding of its role in American history.
