Historical Background

Launched in 1797, USS Constitution is one of the original six frigates built for the United States Navy and remains the world's oldest commissioned warship still afloat. She earned the famous nickname "Old Ironsides" during the War of 1812, when British cannonballs were reported to bounce harmlessly from her exceptionally strong live oak hull. Undefeated in battle, USS Constitution became a symbol of American naval strength and continues to serve as an active commissioned vessel and museum ship in Boston, Massachusetts, preserving more than two centuries of naval heritage. This special edition celebrates the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy and the international Sail 2025 maritime celebrations.
