  USS Constitution
COPPER HULL
measures: 38"L x 32"T x 13"WClick here to see detailed photos!
Launched in Boston on October 21, 1797, she was first put to sea in 1798. Having remained a part of the U.S. Navy since that day, the USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world which is still afloat. On her first mission, during the late 1790's, the USS Constitution guarded American commerce in the Caribbean against French depredations. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent her to the Mediterranean to protect American ships and seamen from attack by the Barbary pirates.During the ferocious War of 1812, the seamen, astonished at how the British cannonballs were bouncing off the USS Constitution's hull, cried out - "Huzzah! Her sides are made of iron!" Hence, her nickname,"Old Ironsides." Still a part of the U.S. Navy ship roster, The USS Constitution is tangible evidence of Americaís proud naval heritage as well as a modern day representative of Americaís patriotism and pride.
