The best
Every other sort of boat like this will seem second rate after you’ve been on board the USS Constitution.
I’ve been on authentic replicas of the Nina (that’s Columbus’s boat) and the Nonsuch (which was good too), and they were good. But they paled in the face of the USS Constitution. Truly one of the most complete tallship tours I’ve ever taken.

Worth visiting!
The first time I went to this place
...was so many years ago now. 1984, maybe? I think it probably meant more to my dad, the Navy man, than me, but I was enough of a history buff to appreciate it still. Or at least, so I did at the time. ;-)

A review of this place
The USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned ship in the world still afloat. It is a wooden hulled three masted frigate built out of resiliant live oak trees, which was so strong that cannon balls would bounce off her hull and earned her the name “Old Ironsides.” The ship is open for tours and is well worth the visit if you are interested in navel history.
