Old Ironsides, popular name of the 44‐gun frigate
Constitution, launched in 1797, which served in the Tripolitan War and the War of 1812. Under the command of Isaac Hull (1773–1843), the
Constitution won the battle with the British vessel
Guerrière, off Cape Race, Newfoundland (Aug. 19, 1812). The frigate was ordered to be dismantled (1830), but was saved when public sentiment was aroused by Holme's poem
Old Ironsides (1830), and was rebuilt (1833).
