USS CONTITUTION
The "USS CONSTITUTION" launched in October 1797, in the war between England
and France (1812-1814), led a successful battle against the frigates "Guerriere"
and "Java". On 13th May 1821, she became the flagship of the Mediterranean
Squadron. In July 1828, she was due to be taken provisionally out of service;
the government decided that she should be scrapped. However, the poet Oliver
W.Holmes of "Old ironsides" successfully won the case to preserve in the frigate.
In 1848, she sailed to the Mediterranean sea where she was visited by Pope
Pius IX. Since 1934, the " USS CONSTITUTION" has been moved to the port of
Boston.
