USS Constitution, Historic naval frigate museum in Charlestown, Boston, US
The USS Constitution, measuring 62 meters in length, stands as a wooden-hulled sailing vessel with three masts at Boston's Charlestown Navy Yard.
Launched in 1797 as one of six original frigates, this warship earned its nickname 'Old Ironsides' after defeating five British vessels during the War of 1812.
The museum presents maritime artifacts, naval documents, and educational exhibits that demonstrate the development of American naval engineering and seafaring traditions.
Visitors can tour the ship Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM without admission fees, while the adjacent museum operates daily until 5:00 PM.
The USS Constitution maintains its status as the oldest commissioned warship still floating, operated by active-duty United States Navy personnel.
