Model of USS Constitution (1798-____)
Photograph taken circa the 1910s. The label on the model's 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".
