On October 21, 1797, USS CONSTITUTION was launched in Boston as one of the first six frigates of the U.S. Navy. Today, 'America's Ship of State' still holds a special place in Boston’s heart. Over the next few days, we’ll celebrate the city’s deep connection to 'Old Ironsides.' Fun fact: Paul Revere, famous for his 'Midnight Ride,' played a key role in building the ship! At 60, he provided the copper fittings that protected the wooden hull from rust and marine worms — a critical innovation that

When the USS Constitution was launched in 1797, the United States was fragile and exposed.

A nation’s outrage in print. This broadside, dated June 25, 1807, condemns HMS LEOPARD’s deadly attack on the U.S. frigate CHESAPEAKE just two days earlier. British sailors boarded and fired on the American ship, killing 3 and wounding 18. CHESAPEAKE—like CONSTITUTION—was among the first six frigates authorized in 1794. The “unprovoked, piratical, savage and assassin-like attack” incensed Americans and helped set the course toward the War of 1812. Part of the Vice Admiral George W. Emery Collect
