| What Ship Is In Boston Harbor |
The Grand Dame Herself: "Old Ironsides"
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
The undisputed champion of Boston Harbor is, of course, the legendary USS Constitution. This isn't your average rusty bucket. Launched in 1797, "Old Ironsides" is the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat - that's right, folks, this ship has seen some things! She earned her nickname during the War of 1812 when enemy cannonballs supposedly bounced right off her hull, leading sailors to believe she was made of iron. Turns out, they were just darn good at dodging!
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Spotting "Old Ironsides" is a breeze. Just look for the grand three-masted beauty docked at the Charlestown Navy Yard. You can even explore her decks and learn about her fascinating history. Just be warned, if you start impersonating Captain Jack Sparrow, the crew might give you a funny look.
