Robert Hurst 28k A still image taken from a video of USS Constellation (II) at Newport, Rhode Island, circa September to November 1900. SUMMARY From Edison films catalog: This picture opens with the young cadets climbing the rigging and going through the sail drill on board the famous historic ship "Constellation." Loosing sail to buntline, making sail, shortening sail and furling; also loose sail to bowline. This picture is absolutely perfect photographically also very thrilling, and makes a most interesting subject. Original film by Thomas A. Edison; 22 Nov 1900; D22020.

When the USS Constellation began leaking 3,000 gallons of water an hour more than two years ago, Chris Rowsom knew repairs were needed and urgently. As a stopgap measure before they could get the 19th-century tall ship into dry dock for repairs, divers began making emergency patches about every six weeks. Ideally, a wooden ship needs to get out of the water every five years for repairs, said Rowsom, executive director of Historic Ships in Baltimore. Its taken seven years to raise the money for this drydock visit, which has just been completed at a cost of roughly $1 million. Visitors keep the lights on and pay staff but dont pay for big-ticket items, Rowsom said. State and city funding totaling nearly $2.8 million also will cover other major repairs to the sloop-of-war, which is considered a National Historic Landmark, at its berth in the Inner Harbor. When the Constellation was brought to Baltimore from Boston in 1955, the vessel was widely considered to be the original 1797 frigate built in Baltimore. Confusion about the ships origins was put to rest in the 1990s when a naval historian confirmed that the Constellation was a new ship, built between 1853 and 1855 at the Gosport Shipyard now the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia after the original Constellation was scrapped. The warship was the last sail-only ship built by the Navy. The Constellation battled the slave trade in its first years, capturing three slave ships off the coast of Africa by 1861 and rescuing 3,700 enslaved people. During the Civil War the Constellation guarded Union merchant ships in the Mediterranean. Among her other assignments was carrying relief supplies to Ireland during the potato famine in 1880. Brought out of retirement in 1940, the Constellation served as a shore-based relief flagship for the U.S. Atlantic Fleet during World War II. When the sloop-of-war was decommissioned in 1955, it was the oldest ship in the U.S. Navy. The Constellation was relocated to the Inner Harbor in 1968, but with inadequate funding the ship continued to deteriorate. The once-mighty tall ship, now sagging and possibly headed for the scrap yard, was closed to the public in 1994. A new Constellation Foundation raised the funds for critical repairs, and today the Constellation is a floating museum operated by Historic Ships in Baltimore, a program of the Living Classrooms Foundation. General Ship Repair, a small shipyard in Locust Point, was hired to drydock and paint the Constellation this fall, which it did at the Tradepoint Atlantic Shipyard at Sparrows Point. Dockmaster Eddie Stevens oversaw the move of the Constellation on Oct. 25. All I do is pick up ships for a living, joked Stevens, who spent 28 hours working with two crews of divers to get the ship perfectly centered on preset blocks. It took 24 hours to pump the water out of the 1,200-foot-long dry dock at the one-time Bethlehem Sparrows Point Shipyard. Nestled on blocks inside the cavernous dock, the Constellation looked as diminutive as a songbird resting in a fallow field. Workers then scrubbed the hull, using a low-pressure wash and scraping to remove barnacles, mussels and other marine growth from the ships bottom. After this rugged facial, a crew of five shipwrights, their apprentices, plus volunteers, meticulously scraped and brushed every pore of the hull in preparation for patching and painting. Mike Vlahovich, a shipwright from Croatia, assembled the team of shipwrights, who use the same techniques employed in the 19th century. Oakum, a material made of hemp soaked in pine tar and oil that is embedded between the long ship planks, is ripped out in a process called reefing. First cotton, then fresh oakum is neatly threaded into the narrow plank seams and covered with Portland cement. Where the plank butts, or edges, meet, small sheets of lead are tarred and nailed into place to patch potential leak points. If shipwrights discover a section of old damaged wood, it is carefully carved out and replaced with a new piece of wood cut to size, called a Dutchman. Assisting the experienced shipwrights, who were recruited by Vlahovich from around the country, are five apprentices new to ship repair. These men are Baltimore City Corrections prerelease inmates, who came to the Constellation through a partnership with Living Classrooms. After six weeks spent learning skills from the shipwrights, apprentices have the opportunity to continue with Project Serve, a reentry job-training and life-skills program for ex-offenders. While rolling paint apprentice James Scott commented that the Constellation has a long history of social justice. I like that Im working on something that generations of people have worked on, said Shaquawn Meredith, another apprentice. Thats cool plus we get a blast of fresh air. The bracing wind that whips through the vast dry dock does not seem to diminish the crews enthusiasm. These are skills Im going to take with me, said Meredith, while painting the plank seams. Never know where Im going to use them. Finally, the crews applied 90 gallons of paint to the hull. The final two coats of paint are a blue-green that mimics the patina of the original weathered copper sheathing. After the paint dries, the dock was partially flooded Dec. 14 so that Rowsom could inspect the ships hold to look for any leaks. Fortunately, only weeping seams are found, which he minimizes by cranking up a couple of bilge pumps. On Monday morning the 168-year-old USS Constellation, finally watertight again, made the two-hour journey, under tow, up the Patapsco River from Sparrows Point to its berth in the Inner Harbor. As he supervises the crew securing the lines at its Pier 1 berth, Rowsom looks relieved. We made it here and the ship is in good shape, he said. It was an uneventful trip, which is the best kind.
