    Google Earth is going to have a full 360 view of the Constitution, in time for before she goes in for repairs, and will be unavailable to the public for three long years.

    Very much looking forward to being able to wander her decks, even if virtually.

    I have always been tempted to start an "old" rumor: "The day _Constitution_ sinks, America falls."

    Since I am unlikely ever to be able to visit the real U.S.S. Constitution for people like me a virtual tour will be educational.

    I am glad I got the chance to visit this summer, but I am just a short flight or 6 hour car ride from Boston. I'll likely try and make it up there when Hermione sails over next spring.
