TODAY IN HISTORY: October 21, 1797 – The Launch of the USS Constitution ⚓
Freedom isn’t declared — it’s built.
“Old Ironsides” was forged from the people’s labor to defend the people’s will. 💪

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1797, #USSConstitution was launched in Boston. The oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat, she is maintained by replacing timbers periodically using a special grove of white oak in Indiana. The survival of #OldIronsides is a remarkable achievement.

‘In Rodgovin’s composition, we see the defeated English ship set afire and sinking in the foreground—its crew having surrendered and now prisoners aboard the Constitution with the American flag flying proudly. Massed clouds provide a dramatic backdrop. In this the painting is accurate, for its emotional impact proved crucial to public support for the war. Born in London, Rodvogin’s family immigrated to Hartford, CT in 1900. His parents ran a neighborhood grocery store while he drew pictures upstairs and studied with local artist T. J. Thurber. In 1923 Rodvogin received a scholarship to the Art Students League and moved to New York, returning home during the summers. “Then I’d be set for another winter of starvation in New York,” he later recalled (De Bona 111). Not a strong marketer of his own work, Rodvogin made ends meet by selling the occasionally photograph or painting, notably a Time magazine cover in 1932 of the French Prime Minister Pierre Laval. ...’ https://openvalley.org/item

Here's another example of the insanity that comes of trying to sanitize history. I'm currently working on a book on the USS Constitution, America's oldest commissioned naval vessel. Thank goodness there is archival material beyond DOD control. #HistoryMatters #DOD #USSConstitution #Censorship
So many wonderful surprises in the Peabody Essex Museum fashion installation. Absolutely captivated by the #USSConstitution headpiece by Carol Salemi, 1990s. Nifty merger of #maritime and #fashion #history. Curated by #PetraSlinkhard & #PaulaRichter @PeabodyEssexMuseum
