USS Constitutions Turn around cruise

As Much as I love to  be in Wilmington on the  4th  of July,I had a chance this year to  view a time honored and moving event on Boston Harbor.
The  annual  turn around  cruise and salute to the  nation  by the  USS  Constitution. So yesterday  morning  I  boarded the  harbor  cruise vessel, and went out to the  harbor  to  wait for the  ceremonies to  begin. 
The  Constitution came out of her birth  undertow , proceed and followed by Fire  boats with  red, white, and  blue water shooting  from the water cannons.The  Constitutions, mast  decked out with  signal flags,  and flying the National  colors  from 1815 sailed majestically up the  harbor  past  the  Boston Skyline  to  castle Island, and here the  oldest commissioned  navel vessel  in the  world  fired off a 21 gun salute to the  nation, then received a 21 gun salute back  from the  shore. She they  completed her  turn  around  sailed back down the harbor , slowing to give a 17  gun salute to the U.S  Coast Guard. she then returned to her Birth at the  Charles town  navy yard.
