You're showing your ignorance yet again, Navvie.

The USS Constitution does not have an engine.


No kidding? I guess that means they won't need your 'sailing' expertise.
But the engine is on another boat that always shadows her.



Dead wrong, nav. I was there. She was free of her tow lines. Admittedly, it
was the first time in over 100 years, and may be the last, but she was sailing
on here own, without a tow, for about an hour.

Sorry jeff I don't see how anything I posted was wrong -unless you are
denying the motor boat -her primary source of propulsion was not in
attendence.

Wow! That's a 12,000 mile backpedal! Don't hurt yourself, Nav.

You're the one who said "You do know she's motoring?" Are you claiming that
because there's a tow boat a mile or so away she's actually motoring? Nav,
You're Nutz!

Which facts, that you're nuts? Or that you know practically nothing
about ships & sailing? Don't worry, those facts have been out in the
open for a long time.

What's the matter Doug, upset that she doesn't have a motor for you to
play with?

Not at all, but you seem to be upset that the U.S.S. Constitution is in
fact sound & sailing. I am rather proud of her, and have learned quite a
bit about this great ship. You seem to have avoided learning anything.
Tell us why, in your ever so humble opinion, Pride of Baltimore was lost
due to "poor seamanship."

DSK

Read about it, I won't discuss things with you.
