Sluban Constitution 1794 Frigate Ship Brick Set #B0836 (1118 Pieces)

Masterpiece of Naval History: Build the Legendary Constitution 1794 Frigate Ship

The Constitution 1794 Frigate Brick Set allows you to reconstruct a true legend of the sea: the venerable USS Constitution.¹ Consequently, this 1118-piece set beautifully encapsulates the power and grace of the United States Navy’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, affectionately known as “Old Ironsides.” This vessel’s story stretches back to the post-American Revolution era when Congress authorized its construction in 1794 to protect burgeoning American merchant interests.² Indeed, the Constitution became the embodiment of American naval resolve.

A Legacy Forged in Battle

The Frigate’s primary service and lasting fame derive not from the American Revolution itself, but from the conflicts immediately following it, where her design proved superior. For example, during the Quasi-War with France (1798–1800), the Constitution first patrolled the Atlantic, safeguarding American commerce.³ However, her legendary status was truly cemented during the War of 1812.

• The Battle with HMS Guerriere (August 19, 1812): This pivotal engagement instantly secured the Constitution‘s fame.⁴ Commodore Isaac Hull commanded the Frigate when it famously engaged the British frigate Guerriere. During the ferocious exchange, British cannonballs reportedly bounced harmlessly off the Constitution‘s tough hull, prompting an ecstatic American sailor to declare, “Huzzah!⁵ Her sides are made of iron!” Therefore, the name “Old Ironsides” stuck, and the victory delivered a massive morale boost to the young American nation.

• The Sinking of HMS Java (December 29, 1812): Furthermore, under the command of Captain William Bainbridge, the Frigate scored another significant victory off the coast of Brazil. This decisive action proved that American naval power was a formidable force to be respected. To learn more about the USS Constitution, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Constitution
