The "Constitiution" launched in October 1797, in the
war between England and France (1812-1814), led a successful
battle against the frigate "Guerrier" and "Java".
On 13th May 1821, she became the flagship of the Mediterranean
Squadron. In July 1828, when she was due to be taken provisionally
out of service, the government decided that she scrapped. However
the poet Olive W.Holmes of "Old Ironsides" successfully
won the case to preserve the frigate. In 1848, she sailed to
the Mediterranean seas where she was visited by Pope Pius IX.
Since 1934, the "Constitution" has been moved to the
port of Boston.
