The USS Constitution Will Be Underway on Friday, June 14th
The USS Constitution will be underway on Friday, leaving the Charlestown Navy Yard at 10 am and heading to Castle Island’s Fort Independence for a 21-Gun-Salute around 11:30 am. This underway will honor women veterans!
USS Constitution will fire an additional 17-gun salute as she passes the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Boston, the former site of Edmund Hartt’s Shipyard, where USS Constitution was built and launched on Oct. 21, 1797.
Great viewing spots include the Charlestown Navy Yard, the Harbor Walk, and Castle Island!
While you’re out there, you might as well grab an early lunch at Pier 6, right?
