Frigate Constitution "Old Ironsides"Named for the document that established our nations laws, the Constitution was built in a Boston shipyard between 1794 and 1797. Its massive 204-foot long oak hull was made from trees from Massachusetts, Maine, and Georgia. The Constitution was launched on October 21, 1797. The ship fought in battles against the Barbary pirates in 1803-4, and emerged unscathed. In the War of 1812, the Constitution fought against the British warship Guerriere. During the fighting, a sailor saw British shots bouncing off the side of the ship and exclaimed that it had sides of iron. "Old Ironsides" became the ships popular name. Condemned as unseaworthy in 1830, the ship was brought to the publics attention by Oliver Wendell Holmes poem, "Old Ironsides". The vessel was restored and placed back in service in 1833. Decommissioned in 1855, it was again rebuilt in 1877. In 1897, it was turned into a barrack ship in Boston. Then in 1931, the ship was again commissioned into active service, and it remains so to this day. The oldest warship afloat in the world, the Constitution is anchored in Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. Powered By 3Dsellers.com - Try for Free!
