USS Constitution & Charlestown Navy Yard

'Old Ironsides' is the world's oldest commissioned warship still afloat, an active-duty US Navy vessel you can board free of charge, with the adjacent USS Constitution Museum telling the ship's War of 1812 story. Go for a hands-on dose of naval history and skyline views across the harbor. Practical note: ship boarding runs Wednesday to Sunday (roughly 10 am to 6 pm) and all visitors 18-plus need a government-issued photo ID for the security screening.
