Launched in 1797, she is the world's oldest ship still afloat. Named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America, she played a pivotal role during the War of 1812 against Great Britain, where she gained her famous nickname after British cannonballs were seen bouncing off her strong oak hull. Today, docked in Boston, she serves as a museum and a symbol of early American naval power, her history preserved for generations to explore.
