*There is a 6-8 week wait for this model
Launched in Boston on October 21, 1797, 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 Americas proud naval heritage as well as a modern day
representative of Americas patriotism and pride.

"Dear Melissa,
I received the US Constitution in perfect condition!
I have been working a solid hour carefully
removing her from the crating. I can honestly say,
I am now an expert in performing this tedious task.
I want to thank you and your company for meeting
and surpassing my expectations not only in the
quality of the model ship but in the Great Customer
Service provided to insure my complete satisfaction.
In this day an age this is a hell of an accomplishment.
Best regards,
Tom Quartararo"
"Aloha,
Just wanted you to know I got the ship last week....
in perfect condition I may add, and it now graces my
living room - a reminder of my trip to see the REAL
Wasa in Stockholm last summer. Thank you very much!
