On September 21, 1897 USS Constitution returned to Boston after having served 15 years as a receiving ship in Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. One month later, Boston celebrated and commemorated the 100th anniversary of “Old Ironsides’” launch. With parades and festivities in a rainy Boston the public gathered at the Old South Meeting House to hear from prominent politicians. One speech came from then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy 447,181 $599,953 , a Harvard graduate: Museum Visitors Total Visitor Donations “’ share in our national heritage of glorious memories has ever been great; and it is fitting that the most famous ship in our navy — the ship which has seen a century of honorable peace and yet more honorable war — should be connected by peculiar ties with Massachusetts and yet should by her very name emphasize the fact that the golden renown of her glory belongs to the whole Union.” 17,703 127 3,927 The message from the future U.S. President rings as true today as it did then.
