Description This Woodkrafter Kit Builds the Constitution. A Basic Boat Wooden Kit Suitable for Ages 10 and Older.
Facts USS Constitution, the world's oldest commissioned warship remaining afloat, launched her 57-year fighting career in 1798. She was one of six heavy frigates that formed the tiny US Navy. Constitution was built larger than other frigates of her era so she could carry more guns, but still smaller and faster than other fighting ships. She was square rigged like other frigates, but had sleeker underwater lines to make her more maneuverable and fast. Her structural members were made of live oak, the most durable wood in existence. Her hull was of white oak planking, two or three feet thick. When a cannonball bounced off her sides and fell into the ocean she was given the enduring nickname "Old Ironsides."
Features Wood parts are pre-cut and pre-shaped.
