The USS Constitution (aka Old Ironsides), the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat,* and a U.S. submarine, in 1916.
This photo was taken by Leslie Jones, the long-time photographer for the Boston Herald-Traveler. The caption reads: “Old and new at Boston Navy Yard, latest class submarine alongside Old Ironsides on Navy Day 1916.” Boston Public Library Collection.
* Launched in 1797, the Constitution is still afloat and still crewed by active-duty U.S. Navy sailors. It is berthed at the former Charleston Navy Yard, Boston and welcomes more than 500,000 visitors a year.
