U. S. S. CONSTITUTION, an American frigate with 54 guns, was
launched on 21st October 1797. She had bigger dimensions, sails and
equipment than the contemporary ships of the same class. Her strong
construction earned her the name of „Old Ironsides“. The Congress
of the United States authorized the construction of Constitution
and of two other ships in order to strengthen the American Navy
and to protect trade with Europe, which were too often endangered
by the more and more numerous attacks of enemy units.
