A destroyer from the Second World War that can be visited freely and for free. The ship is in a fairly original condition, but only a small part is currently accessible. Nevertheless, it is worth a visit to get an idea of the life of the sailors of that time.

This nimble, Fletcher-class destroyer participated in seven battles during World War II, surviving (among other things) two hits from Kamikaze attacks. She's docked across from the USS Constitution and is open seasonally; you can explore the top deck on your own to take a guided tour deeper into the ship.
