My brother Ian and I headed out to Castle Island to see the USS Constitution sail under its own power on the 131st anniversary of its most famous battle (withstanding an attack from the British frigate HMS Guerriere in one of
the first major American naval victories of the War of 1812). It was a very brief trip and the section where she sailed unassisted was too far out in the harbor to get a good look but we did get to witness old Ironsides coming back into the harbor and the masses of people and boats there to watch.
