Source

The Taney, a museum ship, is situated in the harbor of Baltimore, Maryland. This historic vessel was commissioned into the American Coast Guard on October 24, 1936, and is named after Roger B. Taney, an American politician and jurist who served as the Secretary of the Treasury from 1833 to 1834. The ship is a significant part of American history, having survived the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

National Historic Landmark Designation

In June 1988, the Taney was designated as a National Historic Landmark of the United States. This prestigious recognition underscores the ship's significant contribution to the nation's history and its enduring value as a cultural heritage site.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The USCGC Taney, docked in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, offers visitors a chance to explore a piece of World War II naval history. As the last surviving warship from the Pearl Harbor attack, this Coast Guard cutter provides an authentic look into life aboard a military vessel.

    Visitors appreciate the well-preserved state of the ship and the opportunity to explore various areas including the deck, living quarters, and engine room. The self-guided tour allows for a leisurely exploration, with informative placards providing historical context throughout.

    Many reviewers find the volunteer staff knowledgeable and passionate, enhancing the experience with their insights. The ship's connection to significant historical events, including its role in World War II and the Vietnam War, adds depth to the visit.

    However, some visitors note that the tour can be challenging for those with mobility issues due to steep ladders and narrow passageways. A few reviewers mention that some areas of the ship can feel cramped or stuffy, especially on warmer days.

    While the USCGC Taney may not offer the extensive exhibits of larger museums, it provides a tangible connection to naval history that many find valuable. The experience is generally considered worthwhile, especially for those interested in military history or maritime affairs.
