                        Yes a fabulous photo. More accurately, it's the earliest photo of her underway.

                        There are lots of photos over her earlier at the wharf, but this one was taken after her restoration.

                         

                        Nicely done, Anthony.

                         Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

                        This is believed to be the oldest known 1881 photograph of the U.S.S. CONSTITUTION under sail on her way to Hampton Roads, VA.

                        Timeline photo from U.S. Navy archives.
