Though ships such as USS Constitution were strongly built and well designed, they required constant maintenance to remain reliable and seaworthy. Navy Yards were needed to maintain and resupply existing naval warships and to construct eventual replacements as technology rapidly changed. Established in 1800, the Charlestown Navy Yard was one of the original six yards created to support the young United States Navy. For the next 174 years, the yard served as a hub of innovation, an employer of skilled workers, and a home to Naval officers, sailors, and U.S. Marines.

The heart of the original Navy Yard is preserved as a historic site open to visitors year-round. The most popular attractions in the yard are the two historic warships who call the Navy Yard home: The undefeated sailing frigate USS Constitution and the 20th century Fletcher class destroyer USS Cassin Young. Both are examples of what the yard built, repaired, and maintained for two centuries. The two ships also illustrate the transition that the Navy underwent as it shifted from timber and sail to steel and steam. Museum exhibits about the Constitution, Cassin Young, and the Navy Yard, are at the nearby USS Constitution Museum and the Charlestown Navy Yard Visitor Center..
