- Topic: USS Constitution
The USS Constitution was nicknamed “Old Ironsides” during the
War of 1812 because no matter how many cannon balls were fired
by the British and how fierce the battle, the ship was not destroyed
and managed to keep fighting. It was never defeated in any battle
during the war. You can still visit the USS Constitution today in
Boston where it is in the harbor.
