“Old Ironsides” is the best tourist attraction in Boston.

On the 4th of July they take the ship out of the harbor and do the annual turn around. They fire the cannons and return the ship.

They turn the vessel around so it is weathered evenly on both sides.

My daughter and I went to visit Old Ironsides two years ago. I plan to take my other daughter someday and take my two grandkids, I want them to see living history. It is hard to believe that you are actually standing on a ship that is two hundred years old from the days of Thomas Jefferson.
