Wooden-hulled sailing frigate launched in 1797 at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in Boston, one of the US Navy's original six frigates. Nicknamed "Old Ironsides" after cannonballs reportedly bounced off her hull in the War of 1812, where she captured five British warships; still fully commissioned today as a museum and ceremonial ship at Charlestown Navy Yard.
