About the ship:USS Constitution - Made of timbers felled from Maine to Georgia and armed with cannons cast in Rhode Island and copper fastenings provided by Paul Revere, The U.S.S. Constitution is truly a national landmark. Launched in Boston on October 21, 1797, she first put to sea in 1798. In 1812 she met and defeated British ship H.M.S. Guerriere, the first in a grand succession of victories in the war of 1812. It was during this ferocious battle that seamen, astonished at how the British cannonballs were bouncing off the Constitution’s hull cried out- " Sir, Her sides are made from Iron !" hence her nickname, "Old Ironsides". The U.S.S. Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world today.
