USS Constitution Pauses In-Port Gun Salutes
The USS Constitution announced on social media that due to current restrictions, “Old Ironsides” is unable to conduct its regular in-port gun salutes until further notice:
NOTICE TO OUR GUESTS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS
Due to current restrictions, USS Constitution is unable to conduct gun salutes while in port.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.
We will share an update on our social media platforms when we resume our daily gun salutes.
Thank you for your continued support of USS Constitution and her crew.
The good news? The cannons aren’t completely going silent. The USS Constitution will still participate in scheduled demonstrations and fire gun salutes when underway in Boston Harbor. The ship has several underway dates remaining on its 2026 schedule.
As to what the “current restrictions” are, they have not been publicly detailed, but we are looking into it!
We’ll keep you posted!
