HST-363 Naval History: U.S.S. Constitution
In 1794 Boston's citizens watched the largest ship built here up to that time come together at the water's edge. Students will explore the 203-year story of Constitution by learning how craftsmen built this massive ship without electric tools; by following her two hundred years of naval service to the nation; by examining life at sea for the 450 sailors and officers who lived on board for voyages lasting several months; and by surveying the ways Americans have adopted Constitution as a national symbol, using her image to adorn decorative as well as utilitarian objects. Meets at the USS CONSTITUTION Museum and the USS CONSTITUTION.
