U.S.S. Constitution

For the next part of Sun, 24th, we quickly saw the Boston Shipyard, it's beautiful harbor with sailboats, and the Ironside - the fortunate ship - the U.S.S. Constitution.

It was a big black wooden ship with elegant sails and a firm standing. It was a beautiful boat.

As I looked around on the huge craft, I see a man on top of a platform, a lot of heavy cannons, and an old bell at the center of the ship. I had got to ask the "shipmates" questions. I found out that the U.S.S. Constitution had been named the "Fortunate Ship" for its success for surviving every war it was in. It also was nicknamed "Old Ironsides". I have no idea why it was named that.

We had a good view at the harbor, saw a few more ships, and went back on the train. That time it was harder, longer, and more tiring.

Home, I went to sleep. I was done.

Oh, a whale of a tale or two oh lad. A whale of a tale or two--. With the sun in the skies til the day is done, a whale of a tale or two or rum. A whale of a tale or two. That is a sailor song from the 19th century.

Andrew.
