| | | The USS Constitution Replica Ship - 1797 (Collector Quality) | The U.S.S. Constitution: Made of timbers felled from Maine to Georgia and armed with cannons cast in Rhode Island and copper fastenings provided by Paul Revere, the U.S.S. Constitution is truly a national landmark. Launched in Boston on October 21, 1797, she first put to sea in 1798. In 1812 she met and defeated the British ship H.M.S. Guerriere, the first in a grand succession of victories in the war of 1812. It was during this ferocious battle that the seamen, astonished at how the British cannon balls were bouncing off the Constitution hull, cried out "Sir, her sides are made from iron!" hence her nickname, "Old Ironside". The Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world today.
