A few visuals of a Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center, part of the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia. The Blackbird was a revolutionary, Mach 3+ reconnaissance aircraft that was in operation from 1966 until the late 90s.
Completed in 1878, the Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford is the third (and current) capitol building for the State of Connecticut since the American Revolution. It's noted for being one of the largest buildings done in the Eastlake style, and is often ranked highly as one of the most beautiful capitol buildings in the United States.
Launched in 1930, the United States Lightship Chesapeake is currently a museum ship on display in the inner harbor of Baltimore, Maryland. As a lightship the Chesapeake served as a mobile lighthouse in areas where a permanent structure couldn't be established. Advances in technology and changing demands have limited the number of remaining lightships in active service making ships like the Chesapeake historically significant, particularly in maritime communities.
Lightship Chesapeake served all over the east coast and helped protect the port of Boston during World War II. The ship was eventually decommissioned in 1971 and was later designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989. Alongside other vessels, like the USS Constitution, the LV116 Chesapeake is now open to explore as part of the Historic Ships in Baltimore.
