The Chesapeake is a lightship, previously owned by the USCG, owned by the US Park Service from about 1971 (which is probably why it was tied up at Hains Point when I saw it about 1978 or so) to the late '80s; Wikipedia says it was on loan to the City of Baltimore for 25 years, which should have ended in 1987. According to WP it's now a historic landmark belonging to the Baltimore Maritime Museum. <br /><br />It'd mean a trip to the harbor at Baltimore, but I'd guess you could still get on it. When I was on it (way back then, when the Park Service had it at HP) I had the run of the entire ship for over an hour. <br /><br />AlienAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-64588919031141712632015-04-16T12:13:50.267-05:002015-04-16T12:13:50.267-05:00Naaaah...He'll be under adult supervision.Naaaah...He'll be under adult supervision.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-55400162127956397972015-04-16T09:01:54.306-05:002015-04-16T09:01:54.306-05:00Don't let him anywhere near the engine room or...Don't let him anywhere near the engine room or turrets!!!
