Baltimore Maritime Museum
This museum is comprised of three boats and a lighthouse that tell recent maritime history. The Coast Guard Cutter Taney survived the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The submarine USS Torsk sank the last two Japanese merchant ships of World War II and still holds the record for the most dives and resurfacings of any submarine. The Seven-Foot Knoll Lighthouse is worth a climb up the steps to see the Fresnel light and learn about the lighthouse that once welcomed immigrants here. The lightship Chesapeake spent 40 years anchored near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Each provides an interesting glimpse into the lives of 20th century sailors.Insider tip: For a good value, buy a Seaport Pass and combine this ticket with a visit to the USS Constellation and a ticket to ride all day on the Seaport water taxi for $16 adults; $13.50 seniors; $9 ages 6 to 14; free for children under 5.

USS Constellation
You can't miss the Constellation, docked for years at the Inner Harbor (predating Harborplace). A triple-masted sloop-of-war launched in 1854, the Constellation is the last Civil War-era vessel afloat. Tour her gun decks, visit the wardrooms, see a cannon fired, and learn about the life of a sailor. Demonstrations begin with the raising of the colors at 10:30am and continue on the hour. Special events include a Fourth of July picnic and a New Year's Eve reception, both ending with fireworks. Tickets are required. A free birthday party is usually held the Saturday closest to August 26. The Constellation marks its 150th birthday in 2004, and it may be moved to Annapolis for a celebration at the Naval Academy in September.

Edgar Allan Poe's Grave
Three modest memorials in this old graveyard recall the poet who wrote "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Raven" (the only poem to inspire an NFL team's name). After his mysterious death at age 40 in 1849, Poe's relatives erected a small gravestone. Before the stone could be installed, a train crashed through the monument yard and destroyed it. In the century since, the site has been adorned with three newer monuments: the main memorial, which features a bas-relief bust of Poe; a small gravestone adorned with a raven at Poe's original burial lot; and a plaque placed by the French, who, thanks to the poet Baudelaire, enjoy some of the best translations of Poe's works. The poet is remembered on his birthday every January 19 when a mysterious "Poe Toaster" leaves half a bottle of cognac and three roses at the grave. On the weekend closest to Poe's birthday, a party is held in his honor. A Halloween tour is also scheduled each year.
