A port bow view of the 44-gun sail frigate USS CONSTITUTION moored in the harbor. The ship is being prepared for its annual turnaround cruise. Each 4th of July the ship is towed into the harbor, a 21-gun salute to the nation is fired, then the ship is turned around and returned to its mooring. The CONSTITUTION, launched October 21, 1797, is the oldest ship remaining on the Navy list. The memorial destroyer CASSIN YOUNG (DD-793) is in the background
