Old Ironsides and Olympia On View At Boston Navy Yard
Our special correspondent notes the Constitution and the Olympia at Boston Navy Yard, old and new standards of American naval power. The Constitution, brought in 1897 for its centennial, sits under a makeshift roof while the Olympia, Dewey’s flagship, awaits repairs. Congresswoman Roberts backs restoring the Constitution and housing it as a naval museum or training ship, with the Daughters of 1812 funding and naval officers supervising.
