Inner Harbor Cruise
The USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy named by President George Washington. The Constitution is most noted for her actions during the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom where many of the British shots had rebounded harmlessly off Constitution’s hull. An American sailor reportedly exclaimed “Huzzah! her sides are made of iron!” and Constitution acquired the nickname “Old Ironsides”.

Old North Church (officially, Christ Church), is the location from which the famous “One if by land, two if by sea” signal is said to have been sent.
