I love the old tall ships. Something majestic about them.

“Old Ironsides” is the old serving naval vessel in the U.S. and the the Lexington is second and it's not even close!

Once Enterprise is decommissioned, it will be number two, but being nuclear, I doubt it will ever be a national treasure as a museum like the Lexington.

The Constitution is a sight to behold and she may very well outlive the nation.

Thanks for the post.

My pleasure, Carbonsteel. I have only visited Old Ironsides once - over fifty years ago when I was a mere boy.
