The 1854 sloop-of-war at the Inner Harbor—the last Civil War-era warship.

A ship in Baltimore, Maryland, USS Constellation is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The 1854 sloop-of-war at the Inner Harbor—the last Civil War-era warship. The archive files it under maritime history, local folklore and haunted places. The dossier holds 1 reported claim, 1 legend and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. It operates as a museum open to visitors.

Constellation is the argued — the '1797' that's the claimed birth, the '1854' that's the laser's proof. The 'name carried' is the passed — the 'frigate scrapped' that's the first's end, the 'sloop built' that's the second's form. The 'slave hunters' is the chased — the 'Africa Squadron' that's the mission's name, the 'ships caught' that's the work's toll.
The 'last sail' is the marked — the 'all sail' that's the design's end, the 'steam next' that's the era's turn. The 'coins sealed' is the dated — the '1997' that's the hull's read, the '1854 half' that's the proof's piece. Constellation is the kept — the 'museum' that's the ship's now, the 'debate settled' that's the truth's win.
The file keeps Constellation: the argued birth, the carried name, the chased slavers, and the sealed coins.
USS Constellation is the archive's Maryland file — the ship that proved its own age wrong.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
USS Constellation is the archive's Maryland file — the ship that argued about itself.
A hull keeps its rings — the file's suggestion being that Constellation's hold is the proven: the 'laser read' that's the '97 truth, the 'name passed' that's the identity's keep, and the 'last sail' that's the era's mark.
