The boys had a great time checking out the USS Constitution. Below decks was much more interesting than above...they are doing extensive remodeling so our tour was punctuated by lots of hammering and drilling. The highlights were the cannons, cannon balls, and the hammocks where the sailors slept. We learned where the word "scuttlebutt" came from and how the one cook was able to feed a ship with 400-500 crewmembers.
USS CASSIN YOUNG
1947 Battleship. We got to cruise on board at our own speed and crawl into some tight quarters and peek into guns and living quarters. It also had a great view of Boston!
FIRE THE CANNONS!
