This event highlights the 200th anniversary of the famous naval victory of the U.S. frigate Constitution over the British frigate Guerriere. The first major naval battle of the War of 1812, the American ship won fame for the young U.S. Navy as well as the nickname “Old Ironsides.” For a flavor of history, the Fort McHenry Guard, representing sailors from the War of 1812 will demonstrate cutlass drill and cannon-firing from the War of 1812.
