Pic of the Day

[Brian Lohnes]

Went on a Boston harbor cruise on Veterans' Day that celebrated the military history of Boston. It was pretty cool. We had a nice view of the Constitution or "old ironsides" as many people know her. The ship has been restored a couple of times over since the 1700s when it was built, but most of the original oak that made the famous sides of the ship which repelled cannonballs "like iron" came from my town and the next town over.

These were the deadliest hot rods of their day. The John Adams commissioned six of these frigates to be built and although they couldn't go toe to toe with British Man 'o War ships, they were faster and had a smaller profile than any of the other frigates anyone else had when they were new and the ships were pretty dominant fighters. The ol' Constitution was undefeated and remains a commissioned warship of the US Navy. Not sure it would be able to knock down a lobster boat today, but still, it is pretty bad ass!

Still an active duty ship after all this time.

If you get the chance to be in Baltimore, I believe they also have some tall ships available for tours and allow visitors onboard... The baddest tech of their time!

Heck yeah, and I was the only person in the Air and Space Museum looking closely at each and every one
Lots of radial engines there too, even a cut-away, man those things are psychedelic to look at. the Multi-row radials are even more crazy.
Here's another

Hope you enjoyed your stay here.
