Comment from Natalie Grant
George Washington himself gave this wooden frigate, which first launched in 1797 and is now the oldest remaining commissioned naval vessel in the world, its legendary name: the USS Constitution. It was built in Boston and is famous for defeating and capturing British warships during the war of 1812.
