The USS Constitution, now 225 years old, was launched on Oct. 21, 1797, in Boston on this day in history. She went on to a legendary career in naval warfare, earning the famous moniker Old Ironsides.
The mighty USS Constitution, arguably the most famous warship in American history — a testament to dauntless courage at sea in the nation's infancy — was launched in Boston on this day in history, Oct. 21, 1797. The mighty warship, 225 years old today, is still afloat in Boston's Charlestown Navy Yard.
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, AUGUST 19, 1812, OLD IRONSIDES LEGEND BORN IN SMASHING VICTORY OVER ROYAL NAVY 'Huzzah, her sides are made of iron!' an America sailor shouted joyfully, as the ship's white oak planks and live oak frame, grown in the swamps of Georgia, repelled volleys of direct cannon fire from British warship HMS Guerriere. The battle was fought on the high seas, about 600 miles east of Boston, on Aug. 19, 1812.
