Amid The Tumult Of The War Of 1812, The USS Constitution, Commanded By Captain Isaac Hull, Cemented Its Place In American Naval Lore.

Engaging The British Frigate HMS Guerriere Off The Coast Of Nova Scotia, The Constitution's Sturdy Oak Hull Deflected British Cannon Fire, Leading The Awe-Struck British To Proclaim It As Made Of "Iron."

Within 30 Minutes, The Guerriere Was Demolished, And "Old Ironsides" Became A Symbol Of American Resilience And Naval Prowess, Forever Etching This Date In Maritime History.
