My wife and I saw two of the four ships available, the Constellation (Civil War era tall ship) and Torsk (WWII era submarine) but each provided us a real flashback in time. Grab the free audio tour devices for the Constellation as they really help provide context to what you are seeing and save you from doing a bunch of...

We only had time to visit the USS Torsk and USS Consellation. Both are docked within walking distance from each other. USS Torsk while being much "younger" than Consellation is a little more "rough". What a fantastic journey through time seeing the working/living conditions of the sailors.
It was neat to look at all the stuff on the ships and see how they worked! The submarine was cool too! We will be back! Make sure to take a ride on the Dragon Boats!
We visited when the historic tall ships were in the harbor and it was really a site to see. Whenever any of the historic ships are docked, try to get as close as possible and take some great photos. I don't think any of them let you on board.
And I'm not talking Disneyland. We went aboard the tall ship, Constellation and the submarine, Torsk. First, to have been someone on a submarine, you had to be made of "different stuff".

the USS Constellation is a restored treasure of a tallship - take the selfguided tour and imagine the living conditions of the time and at sea - great historic entertainment
The "Crew" were great. The "enlisted" crew members from the crowd for help firing the 20lb "gun" (It's NOT a cannon they will tell you) I learned a lot.

Being able to see the ships up close was very interesting. You got to see a wooden sailing ship, a light ship (like a sailing lighthouse), a submarine, a coast guard cutter, and a lighthouse (moved from its former position in the water) and go into the interiors to see how cramped space was, what the mess decks were like,...

A must see and experience. Excellent staff, answer all your questions. Very knowledgeable and willing to tell you everything about the ship. Be prepared to climb and duck, low ceilings. Great trip well worth the price.
