This is the story of the oldest warship afloat in the world, the
venerable frigate USS Constitution, the cornerstone of the nascent
American navy created by act of Congress in 1794. To set the stage
for the dominance of this remarkable vessel, military historian
Colonel David Fitz-Enz re-creates the world of sail, when seven
knots an hour was considered blinding speed for a warship. In Old
Ironsides (a nickname the boat received after a British sailor
observed a cannonball bouncing off its side) Fitz-Enz tells the
complete story of the ship, from its construction to the ongoing
restoration efforts that keep it active today.
