Then A Flawless One for the USS Constitution-- Part 3: SUCCESS!!! Third Time's the Charm As They Say

Now, for this October launch attempt, George Claghorn had one of the Constitution's cannons which was still ashore, fired to alert the local population that another attempt was going to be made.

Fewer people came back for this one than  had been at the September ones but those that did got to see the majestic ship slide effortlessly and gracefully (and flawlessly) into Boston Harbor.

That very same ship was launched 223 years ago.  Certainly none of the people there assembled that day, including George could have figured the ship would still be afloat today.

But, Yet, There She Be.  --Brock-Perry
