USS Constitution's best kept secret
« on: July 18, 2006, 04:41:50 PM »
The USS Constitution website has a hard to find link to the Naval Historical Center - Detachment Boston which has a link to Engineering Drawings and Prints of many features of the Constitution including all three types of cannon and their mounts used on the ship on a CD-ROM.  It costs only $15.  The links to the drawing list and order page on the Detachment page are the ones near the bottom.

I've got the CD...

for $15 you can't believe what you get.

You really get the entire ship, and everything on it, in great detail.

In my own case, I blame memory lapses like that on old age.   ;D

Now I remember why I never posted it.  Gateway Timeout while trying to look the site over.  Still can't get in to verifiy everything.

When I do I will post the link.
