Model of USS Constitution (1798-____)
Photograph of the model's bow, taken circa the 1910s. The label
on its stand states, in part: "The earliest correct model
of 'Old Ironsides'. Gift of her commander, Com. Isaac Hull, July
1813. This model was repaired in 1814 by British prisoners of
war in Salem. It was followed by the U.S. Naval authorities in
restoring the 'Constitution' in 1907".
