Exploring the USS Constitution - Boston, MA

[@xJamesLaughx]

This is a bucket list of mine, to go see the USS Constitution and HMS Victory first hand. I absolutely love the Age of Sail and only ship of this kind I have been on is the USS Constellation in Baltimore Maryland.

[@carronade2456]

The HMS Warriors is a cool ship too. I highly recommend you visit the naval museum in Greenwich. It has amazing stuff on display including Admiral Nelson's officer uniform. It even has a hole in it when he was hit in the shoulder with a musket ball!

Hey, this is my neck of the woods! Living in the Boston area, I love to bring guests here. You're right, she's so much bigger than you think she's going to be. But even so, can you imagine how cramped those quarters must have been below decks with that many sailors and marines aboard? Every year on July 4, she sails out into the harbor for a turnaround cruise (though usually not under her own power iirc). There's a lottery to get a spot onboard for it, but I've never won. Since you were there, and made it up to the Bunker Hill Monument, I hope you got a chance to stop in at the Warren Tavern. Yeah, it's a little touristy, but it's still a neat little slice of history tucked away there.

If your ever up here again. I would swing by Fall River and see the uss Massachusetts at battleship cove.

😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@filkel123]

I had the privilege of visiting it in dry dock so people got to engrave their name on the brass plate put on the ship. I’m happy I can say my poorly written signature is on the USS constitution

[@kevinneutzling8267]

I live less than two hours from here. I’ve visited her twice-with family and on a high school Boston trip and it’s great thinking of how a ship so old could still be afloat

[@jagsdomain203]

No matter how many times I have been in that ship it was always a pleaser. If you past bunkerhill and down the other side you will see a set of blue public housing. There is a sign in front of them on the other side of the street on the sight of the Boston neck.

[@edwardnelson9807]

Welcome to my neck of the woods! Been a while since I've been to the constitution.

[@ReflectionOfPerfection]

I was just there over the summer. Great times

[@TheTimzorz]

Very impressive ship!

[@jtc120880]

Sweet! Love age of sail.

[@southernwolfgaming]

Man, you should go to South Carolina and go to Charleston and see fort sumpter and the USS Yorktown and the USS Lafery. They are all awesome.

[@reptonplaya]

I’ve always wanted to visit the USS Constitution

[@osportsligtutseende1351]

Another historic warship that you might be interested in is the Swedish Vasa Ship . 1628.

[@chrisigoeb]

Teaches you to approach humble ship designs

[@carronade2456]

Ah yes, the ship that sunk because it was too top heavy.

[@thenumber1709]

Another interesting sight that I would recommend in Boston is the Boston Tea Party Museum.

[@thenumber1709]

Or possibly Plymouth plantation if you get the chance.

[@Methmickey]

Fallout 4 fans including me love that boat for many reasons ;)

[@LUNE.44]

You visit this fine vessel in trying times. Becalmed these long years on her airy perch. Damn you Wetherby Savings and Loan! I spit at you!

[@peterchampagney4990]

When was this filmed? Next time you are in the area let me know. There's an awesome yearly ww2 reenactment a little ways west of the city every year, and if you are interested in the Pilgrims and native Americans, Plymouth plantation is an awesome place to visit.

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

That was my last trip before Covid, in early 2020. My 2nd trip to Boston. I visited Plymouth and the Adams homes on my first trip, in 2017. On this trip I visited here, Bunker Hill, Lexington and Concord.

[@WakeRoberts]

You talking about the Collings Foundation event in Stow?

[@2104dogface]

yes i do that event every Oct at Collings ( F co. 2/504th 82nd A/B) they also now have the new museum open and have the largest collection of Armor in the U.S. if your every in the area that is a must see.

[@carronade2456]

Fun fact, if the Constitution was a British ship, she would be classified as a 44 gun Fifth Rate Ship of the Line!

[@carronade2456]

Also, there was one time where the Constitution was challenged by a British frigate to a race and she won!

[@danielwemyss9354]

Being a fifth rate would actually classify it as a frigate, only 4th to 1st rate ships were considered a ship of the line.

[@carronade2456]

@@danielwemyss9354 Yes I do know that. But thanks:)

[@EricPham-gr8pg]

The question was where was it builded , china or vietnam ? Or Nauy Viking?

[@ryann6067]

She was built in Boston, Massachusetts

[@theflyingtexan1293]

Hgg u need to try Naval Action

[@ivangenov6782]

Just in any case you might be going to Germany, can you visit the Wilhem Bauer, (i think that's the name) a Type 21 german submarine from WW2

[@adiffo7331]

So close to 10k 😳

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

33 away as of now!

[@TornNalone]

Fuck ya man this so cool thank you for coming to my city

[@EricPham-gr8pg]

Philadelphia ship yard ?

[@Noname-ur4ct]

Could you react to Yarnhub

[@cleverusername9369]

Am I alone or was the tour guide a little hard to understand?

[@jonbawz9136]

You should review panzerkampf from sabaton 👍
