I'm a fan of the Blue Ridge Parkwa and the Skyline Drive (Shenandoah NP), but it might not quite be what you're interested in. Beautiful scenery, but not much in the way of kitschy tourist attractions and certainly not much maritime related.
Pigeon Forge/Gatlingburg TN has a plethora of touristic potential of most every description.
Mystic Seaport should definitely be a must-see. Old Ironsides is interesting, but Boston is not a city to drive an RV through (nor, in my opinion, to drive most anything through if you can reasonably avoid it). Public transportation is highly recommended to get to the USS Constitution. There are some very nice museums in Boston as well; the Science Museum is quite good, as is the aquarium and a few art museums, probably among others.
The Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, VT is well worth a day stopping at. One of the many (eclectic) items there is the Ticonderoga, the last steamship to operate on Lake Champlain and the last walking-beam sidewheel passenger ship in existence. Not too far away there's also the Lake Champlain maritime museum, which somewhat to my chagrin I must admit I have not yet visited despite living in the general vicinity for quite some time.
