The USS Constellation is a sloop-of-war, the last sail-only warship designed and built by the United States Navy. While undergoing repairs at Hampton Roads, Virginia, during the start of the War of 1812, she was effectively blockaded by the British. In 1815, during the Second Barbary War, she sailed with two U.S. Navy squadrons and joined in the capture of the Algerian frigate, Mashuda, on June 17. Following her return in December 1817, Constellation served in the South Atlantic, the Pacific, and in the West Indies until circumnavigating the globe during the early 1840s. During this time, she safeguarded American lives in March 1841 during the Opium Wars. She is now preserved as a museum ship in Baltimore, Maryland, and is a National Historic Landmark.
