English: This oil painting is of the USS Constitution, which is the world's oldest active service naval vessel. The ship was commissioned by the Naval Act of 1794 and was launched in 1797. It was nicknamed "Old Ironsides" following the War of 1812 and is currently operated by the U.S. Navy with the mission of outreach and education. Grant was both a painter and an illustrator who became known for marine imagery following his service in the military during World War I. |
