Description
Back in the day when "Old Ironsides" aka the USS Constitution sailed away from the Boston Navy Yard an artists sketch from the pier may have looked like this. I captured this photo turned sketch on this July 4th 2018 "Independence Day". This pier and buildings are remnants of the same Boston Navy Shipyard that originally launched her in 1797. During the war of 1812 she defeated the British frigate Guerriere. From that battle she earned her nowname "Old Ironsides" because the British cannon shot failed to penetrate the oak sides. An antiquing filter was applied to create this unique vintage look. To learn more about the USS Constitution follow this link: http://www.navy.mil/local/constitution/
