Uss Constitution And Navy Yard- A Piece Of American Naval History
Initially called the Charlestown Navy Yard, and following 1945 named the Boston Naval Shipyard, the Boston Navy Yard is one of the foremost ship constructing sites of the American Navy. The Boston Nay Yard was formed in 1801 and resides on a 30 acre or 120, 000 square meters of land. The yard formally ceased its activities on the 1st of July 1974. The Boston Navy Yard is now incorporated into the Boston National Historical Park.
The Boston Navy Yard includes many attractions. The Yard contains the museum ship USS Cassin Young (DD-793), the USS Constitution and also the USS Constitution Museum. The museum ship USS Cassin Young and USS Constitution can be found on Pier 1. Drydock No. 1 is still in operation and is used to maintain much of the historic ships. The Boston Navy Yard is part of the Freedom Trail.
The USS Constitution was nicknamed the “Old Ironsides” following the battle with the British warship HMS Guerriere in 1812. The USS Constitution was able to defeat five British warships and also capture many trading vessels during the War of 1812. The USS Constitution was named by President George Washington in honor of the Constitution of the United States of America. The USS Constitution has a hull made of wood and is a three mastered heavy frigate ship of the US Navy. Construction of the ship commenced on 1794 and the ship commenced operations in 1797.
When travelling to Boston make sure to find some accommodation at one of the hotels in Boston. Out of the Boston hotels, one recommended hotel for making your lodge would be the Langham Hotel Boston.
