Spent the weekend in Boston and visited Old Ironsides and the USS Cassin Young. Here are links to the photos if you need some references for these ships.

Awesome. I like the story about the Constitution's Ship's Wheel and it's origins.

Superb photos, Don!

I particularly appreciate the ones of Constitution. They will really come in handy in working on my rigging.

Just one correction; she was launched in 1797; October 21, 1797, to be exact.

Thanks for posting the links!

Cheers!
Jim

Absolutely stunning photos Don.

Thanks very much for letting us view such a magnificent old ship, (meaning the USS Constitution).

Nice pics, especially of the destroyer. There was a discussion a while back about how high the railings on a ship are. Some of those pics gives a good idea on that.

I'm dying to go there and crawl all over those old ships. The one I really want to go see is the USS Kidd, moored down in Louisiana. I'd reely like to do a 1/48 scale version of her. She had all of the armament I liked on board at one time - one torpedo rack, two Quad Bofors, 4x5", and some twin 20mm. Don't know if I'll do her in cardboard or traditional ship-modelling materials though.

Semper Fi!
