The USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat, underwent a drydock period from 1973-1974 prior to her bi-centennial celebration. During that time, large pieces of red oak were removed and replaced with white oak; including pieces of her deck and hull ribs. Tony D’Angelo, a museum volunteer with the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, was able to receive a piece. He brought the artifact in this morning, and graciously loaned the piece to Lee Martin, a volunteer model ship builder who was in the gallery this morning working on a model of the USS Constitution.
