Baltimore Maritime Museum (Baltimore Maritime Museum)
Historic Ships in Baltimore, created as a result of the merger of the USS Constellation Museum and the Baltimore Maritime Museum, is a maritime museum located in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland in the United States.
The museum's collection includes four historic museum ships and one lighthouse:
* USS Constellation, a sloop-of-war; the last sail-only warship designed and built by the United States Navy
* WHEC-37, a Coast Guard cutter; the last surviving vessel that participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor
* USS Torsk (SS-423), a World War II-era submarine; credited with the last sinking of an enemy ship by the USN in that war
* Chesapeake (LV-116), a lightship; stationed at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay for most of her 40-year service life
* Seven Foot Knoll Light, a screw-pile lighthouse
All are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The four ships are also National Historic Landmarks.
The Liberty ship SS John W. Brown is also homeported out of Baltimore.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
