The USS Constitution, known as “Old Ironsides,” is

The USS Constitution, known as “Old Ironsides,” is the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat. Built in 1797 as one of the first six ships of the United States Navy, she was designed to protect American trade and interests around the world. The ship became famous during the War of 1812 when her strong wooden hull helped her defeat British warships, earning her legendary nickname after sailors noticed enemy cannonballs appeared to bounce off her sides.

Throughout her history, the USS Constitution served in diplomatic missions, anti-slavery patrols, and as a training ship for Navy officers. Saved from scrapping in 1830 after the poem Old Ironsides inspired public support, she remains an important symbol of American naval history. Today, she is docked in Boston, Massachusetts, where visitors can tour the ship for free and learn about more than 225 years of history. She will also be one of more than 60 Tall Ships participating in Sail250.

The American Eagle is a historic gaff rigged schoo

The American Eagle is a historic gaff rigged schooner that was launched in 1930 and is one of the last surviving original Gloucester fishing schooners. Built with a wooden hull, the vessel measures 123 feet tall and represents an important part of New England’s maritime heritage. Throughout her long career, she has served in several roles, including as an auxiliary schooner, and eventually a traditional windjammer.

Today, American Eagle is homeported in Rockland, Maine, where she continues to sail while preserving the legacy of America’s fishing schooner fleet. Blending the elegance of a period yacht with the hardworking character of the western Atlantic’s commercial vessels, she offers a unique glimpse into maritime history. In recognition of her historical significance, American Eagle was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991.
