U.S. Frigate Constitution 



Built in 1798 at Hartt's Shipyard of Boston, Massachusetts at a 

 cost of approximately S300,000, the Consiilulion conducted the 

 first documented survey by any federal agency when, in 1811, a 

 survey of New Lxjndon Harbor was made, and a chart was pro- 

 duced that same year. Today "Old Ironsides" rests in Boston 

 Harbor, the oldest commissioned ship in the Navy and a symbol 

 of courage and patriotic service.
