 Very cool! And here I thought Old Iron Sides was the only sailing ship belonging to the military. Learn something new everyday.The USS Constitution is currently in dry dock undergoing restoration. |

My welder buddy from across the river here, years ago gave me his set of watch keys to the USS Constitution 3 brass, one Bronze to the Captains quarters....of course they all Ward Locks have that 3/8 square tag hanging off the edge, near the end.....
and Yes, I knew about that USCG canoe.....found out about that decades ago.....
