 And finally, a nautical milestone:
On October 18, 1797, Old Ironsides,
aka the USS Constitution, was launched
and christened in Boston by
Captain James Sever. Old Ironsides
is the oldest commissioned warship afloat
in the world.

“A few moments later, Claghorn gave the order to knock out the wedges and
shores, and this time the large frigate moved promptly and swiftly into the
harbor waters. As she went, Captain Sever broke a bottle
of Madeira on the heel of the bowsprit, declaring her to be named
"Constitution." ~The Launch of the USS Constitution~

Let’s have a Well-Launched 7th Week of School!
