USS Constitution Description
The USS Constitution is the famed U.S. warship launched in 1797 from a site nearby the present Charlestown Navy Yard. The 54-gun frigate was designed by Joshua Humphreys and Josiah Fox and built with live oak and red cedar bound by bolts and copper sheathing made by Paul Revere. The ship earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" in the war of 1812, when cannonballs seemed to bounce off her tough hull. It is said to be the oldest commissioned warship in the world.
