Numbered as card BM127A.The USS Constitution, prominently featured on this postcard, earned the nickname \"Old Ironsides\" during the War of 1812 when British cannonballs bounced off her resilient wooden hull. Launched in Boston in 1797, she remains the world\'s oldest commissioned warship still afloat and is docked at the Charlestown Navy Yard.The Paul Revere House, built around 1680, stands as Boston\'s oldest surviving structure in downtown. Revere purchased the home in 1770 and lived there during the American Revolution. The house became one of the earliest historic house museums in America after opening to the public in 1908 following restoration.The Old State House, constructed in 1713, served as the seat of the Massachusetts General Court until 1798. It witnessed pivotal events including the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Declaration of Independence was first read from its balcony on July 18, 1776.
The Bunker Hill Monument, commemorating the June 17, 1775 battle, features a 221-foot granite obelisk completed in 1843 after a lengthy construction period.
