Reviews
"Neat ship to come check out when you're in the area. Prices are reasonable and the staff are very friendly and know a good bit about the history of it."
"Great little ship to visit. It's a smaller ship so it doesn't take very long to tour, but it's a wonderful piece of maritime history. The woman who was on staff that day was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the lightship and was great to talk with."
"As mentioned in other reviews, if you pay to tour this ship, you also get to tour three other ships in the harbor - the Torsk (WWII submarine), the Chesapeake (light-ship), and a USCG Cutter. If you take the time to tour all the ships, it's totally worth it! This is a neat ship to tour and you get access to pretty good amount of the ship!"
"Very cool ship with very reasonable admission prices. Definitely check this place out if you're a navy buff and want to learn more about marine boats. Stairways are a bit narrow and steep but not a problem. Headroom is limited but enough where you don't have to strain yourself. Not many people when I visited so it was great to enjoy the boat without people crowding in. A lovely hidden gem."
"The ships are one of the best things to see and do when visiting Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Also try out the paddle boating! It's always cheaper than the aquarium."
