    One of the most famous warships in US history, the Constitution (nicknamed Old Ironside) was to serve in several theaters of operation including the war of 1812. Commissioned in 1794 by President Washington, she was built over the course of several years and would see a long and illustrious career. Details on her history and battles can be seen on her official website.

    Over in Charlestown Naval Dockyard is the oldest commissioned US Navy ship (1797), nicknamed Old Ironsides for never having gone into battle. Its now a museum piece with the exception of every 4 July, when it is taken out into the harbour (and back again).

    The Charlestown Navy Yard supported America's war efforts for two centuries. It saw action in the War of 1812 and fitted ships out during World War II (1941-46). It continue to provide naval support into the Korean and Vietnam eras. For historic representations of the work done at the Navy Yard, see my Travelogue

    The Constitution, or "Old Ironsides" as it was affectionately named, is the oldest warship afloat in the world. You can clamber abroad and check out all the old armaments and navigational instruments. Admission is free but you must pass a security checkpoint to get on board so make sure to leave your nail clippers at home.

    The U.S.S constitution is a navy boat that is over 200 hundred years old. It is staffed with navy reservists and you have the option of going and guiding yourself with a pamphlet or waiting longer to have a guided tour which includes seeing the downstairs area of the ship. There is also a small but quaint private museum you can learn about the history of navy boats and what life at sea was like in the 19th century.

    Below Old Ironsides Decks

    The U.S.S. Constitution is the oldest ship in the Navy. Because it is still commissioned, it is manned by sailors. The Ship was one of the first built for the new Navy and has never lost a battle. There are two tours, a quick top deck tour and a longer tour that takes you below deck. If you have the time, the longer tour is well worth the extra wait in line. We went at the end of the day and there was no wait at all (on a Friday). In addition to the Constitution, there is also a pretty good Museum on the Constitution as well as a Destroyer to visit. We were there too late in the day to visit the Destroyer but the Museum was interesting. The Museum GIft Shop also has a pretty good selection of Naval History books for sale.

    The USS Constitution is the oldest US commissioned ship... and beside the amazing history, it's a beautiful ship. Whether you can (or want to) get in or not... just try to get to the Boston Harbour and see this magnificent ship.
