This is a place to learn about the history of American navigation, the storm is particularly beautiful, and here you can also learn about the process of ship building, the experience is still relatively strong. Visitors are relatively small
I live in the Navy Factory and I never knew there was such a great place. There are many places to eat, but most of them walk to the yard. There you can see the frigate Constitution, there are other ships, museums, old houses and buildings, and many, many things. What a pleasant surprise.
I was a bit biased, but I had a memorable experience when I came to the museum and the dry dock. The museum shows the details of life when sailing at sea and how the ship was made. The dry dock itself is a preserved historical object, and now it has been restored and refurbished to its value.
The Charleston Naval Shipyard is the largest shipbuilding base in Boston, and the number of ships here is historic.
