USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is a three-masted wooden-hulled heavy frigate of the United States Navy. She is the world's oldest ship still afloat. She was launched in 1797, one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and the third constructed.

A shot from a B&W long exposure architecture series I did this past summer using a set of NiSi ND filters.

Processed mainly with Capture One Pro 12 with a round trip into Photoshop for levelling then Capture One for sharpening for web and print output.

The USS Constitution, compassionately known as “Old Ironsides,” is a ship constructed in 1794 as the beginnings of the new U.S. Navy. Far from simply being a great American icon, she represented a new path of shipbuilding. She was one of six frigates designed to be more heavily armed and armored than other ships of her size, while still being fast enough to evade enemy men-o-wars.
Her design proved effective and after winning the first victory against the British Navy in the War of 1812, the USS Constitution was kept from the scrapyard. Now, she is the oldest ship still afloat—even sailing under her own sails and performing salutes for special occasions.
Here is your chance to have this world-famous ship sail its way across your desk or perform salutes from your shelf! This model is solidly designed from stem to stern and is highly detailed, allowing you to reenact all of your favorite battles.
Features:
A Full Compliment! The model is roughly to nanofigure scale and comes with several figures representing officers and crewmen.
Head Below! Two separately removable deck sections allow access to the gundeck. That deck is complete for display or play with, stairs, ladders, cannons, carronades, powder kegs, and even bilge pumps.
Stowing Away? A section of the hull may be removed to access the cargo hold belowdecks.
Raise Anchors! Spin the Capstan to raise the anchors. The pulleys are hidden out of sight so as not to distract from play or display.
We’re Going to Need a Bigger Bottle: At nearly 2400 pieces, this model measures 74.1cm (2.4ft) long and 65.3cm (2.1ft) tall without the display base.
So unfurl the mains and set sail with this Eagle of the Sea!

The second longest funicular railway in Britain. Using comterbalanced electrically powered cars on 4'8" gauge track. Its notable for the variations in gradient.
My 1:1055 (LEGO Ent-D set scale) model of the Constitution class!
I think this is the fourth time I've made a model of this ship in various scales, somehow manage to fit more detail on it every time!
365 pieces, 27.5cm/10.8in long.
