About Boston Naval Shipyard
The Boston Naval Shipyard in the Charlestown neighborhood was a major U.S. Navy shipyard from 1801 to 1974. Historically significant ships were built here, including the first American ship of the line, and during World War II thousands of sailors and workers were employed here to repair and expand the fleet. After the yard closed, the site was turned into a park and is now part of Boston National Historical Park. Here you can tour the historic 18th-century frigate USS Constitution as well as the World War II destroyer USS Cassin Young. The site is protected as a National Historic Landmark and recalls the city's long maritime tradition.

Another Historical landmark are the grounds of the Charlestown Navy Yard, which was established over 200 years ago. The navy yard is located in the Boston National Historical Park, and from here you can access a visitors center, museum, and of course the USS Constitution and the Cassin Young.
