The Constellation is generally known as one of two surviving Revolutionary warships, though results of my research are split between that and it being a Civil War era replacement of a ship by the same name. I took tours of it as a child and delighted in being nearly as tall as the lower decks, meant for the shorter full-grown adults of the day. It is one of the few ships left at what was once an industrial port, now turned to tourism. It never goes anywhere.
