Maritime History Around Baltimore, MD - BHHS Homesale Realty

The maritime history of Baltimore stretches back to the earliest days of the city's settlement and has played an essential role in Baltimore's growth into the city that we all enjoy so much today. So much of Maryland's and Baltimore's maritime history has been preserved by wonderful museums that offer fun, educational experiences for all ages near Baltimore homes for sale. You can even board several historic ships, explore below deck, and discover what it's like inside a restored WWII-era submarine. Our real estate agents have exciting details on four great destinations for remembering maritime history around Baltimore.

  • Historic Ships of Baltimore – 301 E. Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
    Our first destination is actually made up of five separate attractions spread around the Inner Harbor and known collectively as the Historic Ships of Baltimore. All of these historic, restored ships are open for in-depth tours every day, each representing a different era and a different style of ship.

    There's the USS Constellation, a Civil War-era sloop that is the only surviving ship from that era; the USS Torsk, which patrolled off the coast of Japan during WWII; USCG Cutter 37, which served the Coast Guard for more than 50 years; and the LV116 Chesapeake lightship. Tons of work went into restoring each of these classic ships, and they're all more than worth a visit for anyone interested in maritime history.

  • Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park – 723 Second St., Annapolis, MD 21403
    Of course, you'll find maritime history around just about every corner near Annapolis homes for sale, with Annapolis being home to the United States Naval Academy. One great way to discover more about local history is with a visit to the Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park. Learn all about Annapolis's maritime history and the Chesapeake Bay's fascinating ecology as you explore a wealth of carefully curated exhibits. There are also fun extras that allow you to experience history first-hand, like Wilma Lee Skipjack Cruises and a busy schedule of community events, especially in the summer.

  • Havre de Grace Maritime Musem – 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace, MD 21078
    Continue your tour of Maryland maritime communities with a visit to the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, a hidden gem that includes diverse exhibits on everything from historic ice harvesting and commercial fishing to the history of the US Coast Guard. There's a fun exhibit on racing watercraft from throughout history and a special Kid's Corner with tons of hands-on experiences for the little ones. You'll also find some interesting outdoor exhibits, including three gorgeous maritime murals. Be sure to stop by this great museum next time you're near Havre de Grace homes for sale.

  • Maryland Center for History and Culture – 610 Park Ave., Baltimore, MD 21201
    The Maryland Center for History and Culture has a broader historical focus than the maritime-specific museums on our list. However, it's still a wonderful place to learn about maritime history. Of special note are the collections of documents, images, and artifacts preserved in the museum, including detailed accounts of some of the most famous naval battles in Baltimore's history. With more than 23,000 square feet of exhibit space, this museum touches on nearly every aspect of Baltimore's history.
