Old Ironsides Frigate Constitution’s Storied Career
The Constitution, one of the United States Navy’s three ships, was built in Hart’s Boston shipyard with keel laid in November 1794 and launched October 21, 1797. Renowned for its 1812 victories over British ships, it earned the name Old Ironsides as cannonballs reportedly bounced off its ironlike hull.
