Weird. I thought a "frigate" was a type of warship...?? And the Frigate Constitution is better known as "Old Iron Sides."
That is the only one that I have ever heard about, too. This one WAS actually a floating barracks, apparently. I looked up the website and here is the page of information about this unusual ship. Maybe it has to do with the designation, which is US Frigate Constitution rather than the USS designation usually used for our navy vessels ?
Who can name all the sails on a full-rigged 3-masted sailing ship? I'll give you the mainmast from the Deck to the Peak: Mainsail Lower Main Topsail Upper Main Topsail Main TopGallant Main Royal or Skysail (Then you've got the Jibs, the Foremast and the Mizzen Mast, kids.) Hal
Texas about 1955. San Jacinto State Park. We were visiting my great aunt there and she took us to see the Battle Ship of Texas. I can't find that photo yet, but this one is near where it was docked.
I motored down the Erie barge channel it was a very nice trip leaving Lake Erie and ending in the Hudson river
Of those last three you really only have the Jibs and Foremast. The last one is mizzen. No one knows where it is.
