Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. USSCON_010830_03.JPG: Paul Revere's Landing Boston National Historical Park On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere set out to warn of the march of British troops on Lexington and Concord. He departed Boston by water, was rowed to Charleston, and landed near here. Walking the short distance into town, Revere borrowed a horse and then rode into the countryside. When Revere reached Lexington, he cautioned patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock of the impending danger. Revere then rode towards Concord to ensure that patriot arms and gunpowder stored there were safely hidden. Along his route, Revere alerted other riders who fanned out into the countryside to warn patriot militias of the British advance. On April 19, patriot militiamen clashed with British Regulars in Lexington and Concord, the first major conflicts of the American Revolution. This wayside was made possible by: The Paul Revere Memorial Association and Friends of City Square Park.
2. USSCON_010830_06.JPG: USS Constitution Boston National Historical Park Launched in 1797, USS Constitution set sail the next year on the world's oceans to protect American commerce. Her victories soon earned her a permanent place in United States naval history. On August 19, 1812, USS Constitution took on the British frigate HMS Guerriere. A half hour of intense combat maimed the British ship. According to legend, as the cannon balls of HMS Guerriere bounced harmlessly off the oak-planked sides of USS Constitution, a sailor exclaimed, "Huzzah! Her sides are made of iron!" Ever since, USS Constitution has enjoyed the affectionate nickname, "Old Ironsides." Even after her fighting days were over, USS Constitution continued to represent her country. She cruised around the world in 1844-46, covering 52,000 miles in 852 days. Now berthed permanently in the Charlestown Navy Yard, she is the nation's oldest commissioned warship.
