I don't see the campfire though, now I wish there was, with nice smoke and flame details. And of course a smokey whisky

There was no campfire, but I thought it would be a great place for one. Your thoughts on the whisky definitely align with mine!

In Boston this week, and got some pictures of the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides)
This is the oldest commissioned warship in the world, originally put in service in 1797, and still afloat in Boston Harbor. It has been refurbished many times - the current ship is as close to the original as possible. Because the US Government is shut down right now it is not possible to board the ship, so unfortunately I only got shots from the outside.
However the USS Constitution Museum is open, and I took some photos there. Here is a fully rigged model of the ship. Many names were put forth for the ship, and Constitution was proposed by George Washington.
Of the paintings in the museum this one stands out, it portrays what it was like during battle.
The ship was deployed during the War of 1812 against Great Britian. It carried 56 guns for that mission. After a gun was fired, the barrel was swabbed out with a wet sponge to extinguish any sparks, then a bag of black powder was pushed down the barrel, then the cannon ball was loaded, along with a wad made of old rope to hold the canon ball in place. Finally black powder was poured in the canon vent and flintlock, and it was ready to fire again.
The ship's hull is made from very dense Live Oak timber, 22 inches (0.56 meter) thick. During the height of battle the crew noticed that the British cannon balls bounced off the hull, with no damage. Someone called the ship "Old Ironsides", and that is still its common name.
