The U.S.S. Constitution usually sits well behind a floating barrier. But this week she moved up while work was done on her berth and I could paddle under the tip of her bowsprit.
She's half-rigged as usual; maybe adding and subtracting rigging helps keep the crew busy.
The brick Hoosac Stores building to her left will soon be demolished and replaced by a new visitor center for the frigate and the Boston navy yard overall.
