The Story behind the print

19 August 19 1812 - USS Constitution met HMS Guerriere in one of the defining naval engagements of the War of 1812. In a fierce exchange at sea, the American frigate’s accurate gunnery shattered the British ship’s masts and rigging, leaving her crippled and unable to maneuver. As the battle reached its climax, Constitution delivered a final, decisive broadside that ended the fight and secured one of the young nation’s earliest naval victories.

The engagement resonated far beyond the Atlantic. News of the triumph electrified the United States, proving that the fledgling American Navy could stand toe-to-toe with the Royal Navy. It was during this battle that the ship earned her enduring nickname, “Old Ironsides,” after British shot was said to have glanced harmlessly from her strong oak hull.

This artwork captures the decisive moment of that final broadside—when disciplined seamanship, superior gunnery, and determination combined to secure a turning point in early American naval history. It represents not only a victory at sea, but a defining chapter in the identity of the US Navy - marking the Semiquincentennial of the United States (1776-2026).

Artist Craig Tinder made multiple visits to USS Constitution while researching and developing this artwork.

About the Relic & Process

This relic originates from the 1973–1974 Bicentennial restoration of USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the United States Navy. During that major overhaul—undertaken to prepare the ship for the nation’s 200th anniversary—sections of historic material were carefully removed as part of ongoing preservation efforts.

Original oak fragment from USS Constitution, distributed by the ship’s museum in 1973 as part of a fundraising effort supporting her Bicentennial restoration and commemorative sailing.

The small piece of wood included with this artwork was taken from the ship during that restoration and was originally offered through the USS Constitution Museum. It represents a tangible connection to “Old Ironsides,” a vessel authorized in 1794, launched in 1797, and preserved through more than two centuries of American naval service.

As the ship continues to serve today as an educational and ceremonial ambassador of the U.S. Navy in Boston, this relic stands as a fragment of living history—linking the War of 1812 to the present day.
