Attention former crew of USS Constitution! Would you like to reconnect with your former shipmates and reminisce about your time serving on “Old Ironsides”? Are you interested in sharing your experiences from serving on the Ship with your family or friends? Would you like the opportunity to get underway on “Old Ironsides” once more? If so, we hope you will join us for the reunion planned this October.
The USS Constitution Museum recently launched a special community for former crew members of “Old Ironsides” to stay connected with one another and the Ship: the USS Constitution Alumni Association! The Alumni Association connects former crew through email newsletters, virtual gatherings, reunions, and more.
Don’t miss out! Visit our website to join now and stay informed about plans for the reunion in October and other in-person and virtual gatherings in the future: usscm.org/ussc-alumni/

Yesterday Pulitzer-Prize winning historian David McCullough passed away. The Museum, along with so many others, mourns the loss of this incomparable historian and author. He was the 2007 recipient of our Samuel Eliot Morison Award, in recognition of his public service enhancing the image of USS Constitution and reflecting the best of Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison: artful scholarship, patriotic pride, an eclectic interest in the sea and things maritime, and a desire to preserve the best of our past for future generations.
He was a great writer whose Historical Books on Washington, Adams etc. Should be read far and wide especially by the young!
He was amazing! What a loss.
