This is a model of the USF Constellation; the original was built in Baltimore in 1797. I took this shot in June at the charming Deltaville [VA] Maritime Museum, and just discovered as I was preparing this post that the museum was gutted by fire in July. Among the treasures that were lost were Civil War artifacts and some beautiful ship models (including this one, I assume). So sad, but they've vowed to rebuild—and I'll be back when they do.

Under fire! And it looks so safe and protected.
ReplyDeleteAlways sad when such treasures are lost. Another reason to love digital photography ~ though the subjects might be gone, being able to save the memories is so valuable.
