USS Constellation (1854), the last all-sail warship built by the United States Navy and now a museum ship in Baltimore Harbor, is commissioned.
The USS Constellation, the last all-sail warship built by the United States Navy, was officially commissioned and later became a museum ship in Baltimore Harbor.
On July 28, 1854, USS Constellation was commissioned as the final all-sail warship constructed by the United States Navy. Built at the Gosport Navy Yard in Virginia, she represented the pinnacle of naval sailing technology before the advent of steam power. Throughout her active service, Constellation patrolled the Mediterranean Sea, protecting American interests abroad. After decommissioning, she was restored and opened to the public as a museum ship in Baltimore Harbor, Maryland. Today, she remains a rare and beautifully preserved example of mid-19th century naval craftsmanship and serves as an educational landmark.
