Neighborhood Photo of the Day:
The USS Constitution went underway (again) in Boston Harbor on Friday with her sails at the ready. We’re not exactly sure why, but maybe the US Navy wants get as much time in before Old Ironsides goes into a multi-year drydock renovation. In the photo below, Brendan O’Brien captures the oldest U.S. warship still afloat from the North End’s Harborwalk by the Mirabella Pool looking toward Charlestown. While returning to her berth, a lone swimmer, North Ender Richie Spagnulo, wandered out for a closer look.
