On October 21, 1947, the Post Office Department issued a 3-cent stamp on board Old Ironsides” to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the ship’s launch. A local architect named Andrew Hepburn used ship models, plans, and original sources for the design depicting the Ship under an arch of sixteen stars representing the sixteen states of America at the time of the ship’s launch in 1797. The second stamp was issued in 2012 as a "forever stamp" as the first in a series commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812. The stamp depicts an 1803 painting attributed to Neapolitan artist Michele Felice Cornè – the earliest known image of Old Ironsides.” We think that’s a fitting tribute!

So, we turned to a group of young adults as part of a @TAPSorg program in Boston to lend their talent to create beautiful murals depicting @USSConstitution. Even though they’ve been replaced to make way for a new exhibition, our staff still enjoys them every day on the walls of our office! #OldIronsides ...

First launched in 2022, Hope was another Educational Passages boat built by Boston’s Donald McKay School. After an initial bumpy journey from Florida, Hope was helped along the way by many people and made its way up the East Coast. It eventually landed in South Carolina, was relaunched, and finally made it to Maine! Luckily, Edward Davis picked up Hope at sea while fishing near St. George, Maine before it could land on the rocky shore. ? Ed kept the boat safe all summer, until Sarah, from our Museum staff, met him in March 2024. Sarah brought Hope back to the Museum so it could be put on display and repaired before going out on its next adventure. Huzzah! #teamwork ...
