When I was a kid growing up southwest of Boston, we took a field trip to Boston and did the Freedom Trail, which includes the Bunker Hill monument. Then, last year, I was out in Boston on a business trip and scheduled a day for myself to wander around town. I climbed the monument (good thing I've been working out!), and also visited the U.S.S. Constitution. Then I bought a friend of mine who makes wooden ship models a piece of wood that was removed from the U.S.S. Constitution during a refit. He's building a model of her and I thought he'd like to incorporate an actual piece of her in the model.
