What People Are Saying About U.S.S. Constitution

In Short – Still a commissioned ship, the Constitution is operated by the Navy. Sailors in period costume lead groups through this piece of American history, telling stories of the battles of "Old Ironsides" and the conditions her crew lived in. When you're in the shipyard, keep your eyes to the sky and guide yourself toward the Constitution by its masts.

Tall Ships/American History
by conchens
Take the tour, or at least wander through the museum to get the lowdown on the ship- if you get to Old Ironsides without a tour, you don't get to wander underneath the deck, where all of the fun is! The Navy guy who was our tourguide was pretty fun.
Make sure to say hi to whoever is posted behind the ship when you exit off of the back ramp!
- Pros: Great Tour, cool ship
- Cons: a lot of security
