>>>in 1927 the school children of the United States gave their pennies to save "Old Ironsides" from the scrap pile. Old Ironsides was a famous war ship during the War of 1812. More than a century later, some people were planning to tear it apart for salvage. By giving their pennies, the children of America helped save Old Ironsides for all Americans to see and enjoy.<<<

over the years to rehab her.She is the oldest commissioned ship in the U.S.NAVY! She also is the only vessel in the Navy,with her own dry dock!She is called OLD IRONSIDES,because British cannon balls,supposedly bounced of her hull.She is in the water,and is turned around yearly,on the 4th of July,too "weather" evenly. A few years ago,the Navy actually brought her out of Boston Harbor,and sailed her,although she was tethered to a tug,just in case!! I was fortunate enough to be outside of Marblehead,Mass.during this trial run, in my own boat,to witness the event. GREAT FIND, Bruce!
