The Turn-Around

Today was the USS Constitution Turn-Around. Seven times a year they Turn-Around the oldest war vessel afloat in the world today. It's pretty spectacular! The water boats flank it and shoot streams of water high in the air. Crowds gather around the harbor to watch this special antique ship under sail.

If you go to the USS Constitution website, you can enter a lottery to spend the 4th of July festivities on the USS Constitution in the harbor!

I find it interesting that the Constitution, which was built in 1797, fought in 33 battles and was never defeated!
