点评:I’m a veteran and a history buff, so I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to visit one of America’s most famous naval ships.
USS CONSTITUTION is bethed at the former Charlestown Navy Yard; she’s still considered to be on active duty and is manned by a Navy crew, so before boarding you’ll have to pass through a security checkpoint and screening before proceeding to the ship. In addition to CONSTITUTION, the National Park Service runs a free museum that shares the story of the Charlestown Navy Yard that’s adjacent to the ship, and a short walk away are USS CASSIN YOUNG, a World War II era destroyer also run by NPS and open to visitors free of charge. A museum and gift shop about CONSTITUTION is a slightly longer distance away; it’s run by a non-profit organization and they do charge admission to visit.
CONSTITUTION is beautifully preserved and has exhibits telling visitors of the ship’s history and about life for the officers and sailors onboard during her time as an active warship; the crew are stationed throughout the ship and are happy to answer questions from visitors about the ship and the exhibits.
My family and I had a wonderful time exploring the ship and the NPS museum, as well as CASSIN YOUNG; the crew of CONSTITUTION and the volunteers on CASSIN YOUNG are passionate about their ships, and the museum fascinated my daughter. The Battle of Bunker Hill Monument is only a short walk away, so it’s a nice day out. You can either walk the Freedom Trail from downtown Boston to Charlestown (but leave early to leave time to explore the ship) or you can take the T to the Boston Aquarium station and take a ferry to Charlestown if your time is more limited. Either way, don’t miss the opportunity to explore our country’s naval heritage!

宪法号航空母舰停泊在前查尔斯顿海军造船厂内;她仍然被认为是现役军人,由海军船员驾驶,因此在登船之前,您必须通过安全检查站和安检,然后才能上船。除了宪法之外,国家公园管理局还运营着一个免费博物馆,讲述与该船相邻的查尔斯敦海军造船厂的故事,步行不远即可抵达 USS CASSIN YOUNG,这是一艘二战时期的驱逐舰,也是由 NPS 运营并开放免费向游客开放。距离宪法博物馆和礼品店稍远一些;它是由一个非营利组织运营的,他们收取参观费用。
宪法号保存完好,并设有展品,向参观者讲述该船的历史以及该舰作为现役军舰期间船上军官和水手的生活;船员们驻扎在船上各处,很乐意回答游客关于船舶和展品的问题。
我和我的家人在探索这艘船和 NPS 博物馆以及 CASSIN YOUNG 度过了一段美好的时光; CONSTITUTION 号的船员和 CASSIN YOUNG 号的志愿者对他们的船只充满热情,博物馆也让我女儿着迷。邦克山之战纪念碑 (Battle of Bunker Hill Monument) 仅几步之遥,所以这是美好的一天。您可以沿着自由之路从波士顿市中心步行到查尔斯敦(但要早点出发,留出时间探索这艘船),或者如果您的时间比较有限,您也可以乘坐 T 线前往波士顿水族馆站,然后乘坐渡轮前往查尔斯敦。不管怎样,不要错过探索我国海军遗产的机会!
