Stories Behind the Portraits
Before selfies individuals showed the world who they were with a portrait. Captured by the artist’s brushstrokes or the photographer’s eye, the portrait is a snapshot that reveals an identity and attitude, preserving a unique personality for all time.
Meet face-to-face with the men and women whose legacies of service and courage define USS Constitution. Chat with our curators and raise a glass during the Privateer Rum Challenge. Join us as we celebrate the many stories of individuality and expression told by our significant portrait collection.
