Irish I Could Rent a Car . . .
My father, who graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, turns 80 this fall. We'd like to celebrate with a lunch or dinner cruise in Annapolis. Can we attend Mass in the chapel?

A cruise on the John W. Brown, a restored Liberty ship, may be a good option. It sails from Baltimore, not Annapolis, but the six-hour "living history" cruise endeavors to bring passengers back to a day in 1944. Big band music, the comedy of Abbott and Costello reenactors, barbershop quartets and mock attacks by World War II vintage aircraft are included, along with continental breakfast and a lunch buffet. The trip, which is $125 per person, will go out several times this fall. On Nov. 6, veterans and military personnel go free. Info: 410-661-1550,

From Annapolis, you can go on day cruises aboard the 74-foot Schooner Woodwind (410-263-8619,

) and on boats operated by Watermark Cruises (410-268-7601,

_____Correction_____
The June 20 Travel Q&A column incorrectly stated the Project Liberty Ship in Baltimore will offer a free six-hour cruise to veterans and military personnel Nov. 6. The company has not yet decided what Veterans Day-related activities will be offered this year.
