Peter Bassett USS Constitution Boston Harbor Harbour Massachusetts USA city America oldest warship launched 1797 old ironside freedom trail
Description
USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. It was first launched in 1797. Constitution is one of six ships ordered for construction by George Washington to protect America's growing maritime interests. The ships greatest glory came during the war of 1812 when she defeated four British frigates which earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides," because cannon balls glanced off her thick hull. The ship was restored in 1927 with contributions from the nation's school children.

BOSTON, MASS - APRIL 9: Shoppers, tourists and diners enjoy Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, 2009. Faneuil Hall, along Boston's Freedom Trail, (brick building with gold dome) was first built in the mid-1700's and was used extensively by colonial era revolutionaries such as Samuel Adams. Faneuil Hall Marketplace, incorporating colonial buildings as well as modern construction, was built in the late 1970's and since that time it has been a draw for tourists and Bostonians alike.

Peter Bassett Boston Freedom Trail sculpture city soldiers revolution memorial to Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Colored Regiment. Union Army Black soldiers Civil War. Sculpture Saint-Gaudens.
Description
It is a memorial to Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Colored Regiment. The 54th was the first unit in the Union Army made up of free Black soldiers in the Civil War. They fought with great honor and bravery, as did so many in that conflict. Their story was told in the movie "Glory" with Mathew Broderick. The bronze work is by the famous sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Colonel Robert Gould Shaw's Regiment was assembled in March through May, 1863. In July, the 54th was defeated at Fort Wagner in Charleston, South Carolina. The regiment stormed the fort up a steep sand embankment, with Shaw at the head of his troops. Colonel Shaw was shot in the heart and killed. He was stripped and buried with his fallen troops in a trench outside the fort, which his family considered a great honor.
