Jeff you said:

"Recent inspection has proven that the framing is completely different
from the original, so any claim that the new ship was some form of refit
of the original is simply bogus. At some later point someone actually
rebuilt the new Constellation to resemble the original, and the hoax was
adopted well meaning folks in Baltimore. They now admit there is little
or no connection between the ships."

When was the hoax uncovered by inspection? Could this be the cause of my
confusion about the ship's name (and the passage of time) and could it
be that I was one of the 'well meaning folks'? Shame on the userers! But
I still think she should have been looked after better and she is old!
