"Old Ironsides" was a ship in the US Navy in the War of 1812. Her actual name was the USS Constitution, but she got her nickname when a cannonball hit her side in battle and did not penetrate the wood. The US Navy, especially "Old Ironsides" who was undefeated in all her battles, was a major reason for the success of the United States in the War of 1812. She is now a museum, located in the Charleston Navy Yard, Boston, MA.
