The USS Constitution, affectionately known as ‘Old Ironsides’, is the oldest active US Navy ship in the country and has the honorable record of being undefeated in battle. The nickname for the ship comes from its remarkable ability to withstand every cannon shot fired at the ship’s hull during the War of 1812. The moniker was allegedly given to the ship by the sailors of one of her British opponents during conflict. The disembarkation point at the USS Constitution offers not only the opportunity to walk around one of the most interesting historic vessels in American maritime history, but is also a fantastic vantage point from which to snap memorable photographs of the phenomenal skyline and harbor of Boston.
