EVNT2A-00079 captures a historic moment as this iconic ship engaged in combat, showcasing its unwavering strength and determination. Located in Charlestown, Boston, MA, the Bunker Hill Monument proudly stands alongside the USS Constitution - a testament to their shared historical significance. Known as "Old Ironsides, " this legendary vessel played a pivotal role during The War of 1812 when it faced off against HMS Guerriere. In an epic clash between two naval giants, Captain Dacres from HMS Guerriere ultimately surrendered his sword to Captain Hull aboard the USS Constitution. This symbolic gesture marked not only a victory for America but also showcased the exceptional skill and bravery exhibited by our Navy's finest. The side view of this majestic US navy ship is awe-inspiring; its grandeur evident from every angle. Renowned artist Nicholas Pocock immortalized The Constitution and her battles with both Java and Guerriere through stunning artwork that captivates viewers even today. But it wasn't just about defeating enemy vessels - there were daring escapades too. In c1813, F Edwards depicted The Escape of Belvedera, highlighting yet another remarkable feat accomplished by this indomitable ship. Years later in 1872, we witness another triumph as The USS Constitution captured Cyane and Levant in 1815. This painting serves as a reminder that despite countless battles fought throughout history, Old Ironsides remained undefeated until she was retired from active duty.
