    The oldest American warship still afloat, the USS Constitution is stashed at the Charlestown Naval Yard for all to see. The ship was built in the late 1700s and played an integral role in the War of 1812. Now brthed permanately in the Naval Yard, except for staged sailings, the ship can be toured, gundecks and all. The Sail Boston travelogue features some photos of the ship's interior. There's also a small museum nearby in which the history of the ship can be traced.

    This is an actual sailing vessel from colonial days. The US Navy has taken great pains to ensure it stays in great condition. There is also a maritime museum at the dock where the Constitution is situated. Check it out also. Lots of colonial United States history here.

    USS Constitution / Charlestown Navy Yard: Freedom Trail - Old Ironsides

  • From the Freedom Trail website: "The oldest commissioned warship in the world became known as "Old Ironsides" during the war of 1812 when she fought the British Frigate H.M.S. Guerriere and a cannonball fired at the U.S.S. Constitution merely "bounced off" as if she were made of iron. In fact the Constitution is made of a three-layer sandwich of wood from all across America. Her "ironsides" are white oak from New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts; her frame is the dependable live oak from Saint Simons Island off Georgia; and her masts are yellow pine from Georgia and the Carolinas.The ship is permanently berthed in Boston harbor and ventures out two times a year. Today, it is still a fully commissioned ship, with its own crew and commander." Definately make time to tour this ship. We were lucky enough to get a private night tour, and the information on the history of the ship (particularly the living conditions of the crew during her early years) was spellbinding. All the information you need about the ship and tours can be found on their website (see below).

    I must admit that visiting the USS Constitution wasn't on my priority list but my friends wanted to go so I followed along and ended up being really glad I did: the USS Constitution is the oldest American warship afloat. Built in 1794-97, this beautiful ship, nicknamed "Old Ironside" because enemy fire seemed to bounce off her during battle, won her first great victory in 1812 against the British and our tour guide - who was amazing by the way - did a great job of reminding us how big an event it was for the then newly-born US Marine. Oh, the irony!
