USS ConstitutionÂ
Step aboard the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world today. Built in Boston and launched in 1797, this ship gained fame and its nickname, “Old Ironsides,” during the War of 1812. Today, it serves as both a training and ceremonial ship for the Navy and an educational experience for visitors after sessions at the 19th Annual CMHC.Â
