In celebration of the USS Constitution Bicentennial an exhibit came to Delaware in 2004. We entered a drawing and were selected to have a ride on the turnaround. We drove up to Boston and here are the pictures. A beautiful ship. Much more immaculately kept then in her heyday.

That is awesome. Congrats on having the opportunity to sail with a piece of history.

Herbert,

I think every history buff is probably green with envy for your good fortune. Congratulations to you!

When I was last in Boston, it was undergoing revovation. The masts and all the rigging were down. What a chore to re-rig that thing!!
Cheers,

David
