This is me on the USS Constitution, aka "Old Ironsides." We were able to talk briefly with one of the Naval officers working on the ship and talk to her about working on the ship. She told us that this she considered it one of the greatest assignments available to anyone in the US Navy (who controls the ship). She seemed very proud to be there.
While in Boston, we found out that the reason the cannon balls would just bounce off the sides of the ship when hit is because of the copper in the "shell" (for lack of a better term from me) of the ship. That was pretty interesting to learn.
Well, just one more stop on the Freedom Trail that I will post tomorrow while I am hopefully seeing the Dodgers magic number (combination of Dodger wins and Diamondback losses) for clinching the division drop. It's been at 5 since after Saturday's games and hasn't changed since. We're 2 games up with 6 to play.
