Old Ship Church, Hingham, Massachusetts
This is the only surviving 17th-century Puritan meetinghouse, and it is the oldest church which has been continuously used for worship in the United States. The Basilica of Notre-Dame in Quebec City, Canada, which your webmaster and his wife visited in 2024 is actually older, having been constructed in 1647. The most distinctive feature of the Old Ship Church is its roof structure, which resembles a ship, which likely resulted in the name of the church. The structure has sometimes been identified as hammerbeam roof, which it is not.
