The U.S.S. Constitution, old "Ironsides," docked in Tacoma, with Elks Lodge and waterview mansions in the background. On June 15, 1933, the U.S.S. Constitution was towed into Commencement Bay and docked on Dock Street for a week. The vessel was open for tours and over 84,000 area residents toured the ship. The Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world; it was launched in 1797.
