The USS Constitution launched this day in 1797, one of the original six frigates.
She went on to a legendary career and is the oldest commissioned warship still sailing.
She was undefeated in battle and captured or destroyed 33 enemy warships during her career.
She set sail around Boston Harbor with 140 former crew members onboard for the occasion.
Happy Birthday!

I wish I could have been there, been on her several times in Boston Harbor and done quite a lot of related reading.
