USS Constitution: A must-see restored frigate with guided boarding on select days.

Timing & Logistics

Typical visit length: 1–2 hours depending on interest in maritime history and exhibits.
Best time: Mornings for softer light and fewer crowds; ranger programs may have scheduled times — check ahead.

Photography Tips

Morning dock light provides clear reflections on calm days.
Use a short telephoto lens (70–200mm) to isolate rigging details and plaques.
