💀 We call this eerie sketch by sailor Lewis Kimberly "The Dart of Death." It reminds us of a quote by another sailor about the dangers of life aboard a warship: "The dart of death hung as [if] it were trembling by a single hair and no one knew on whose head it would fall."
Join @bostonNHP, @USSConstitution, and the Museum this Saturday, July 17 from 6-8:30pm for the "Charlestown Navy Yard Summer Concert Series," featuring Hallelujah the Hills! This free concert will be held in the Navy Yard next to "Old Ironsides."
This #Juneteenth, we remember the enslaved people who harvested the live oak timbers that gave "Old Ironsides" its strength. We remain committed to researching the intertwined histories of slavery and the creation of the early U.S. Navy. Learn more at https://t.co/0kJllEok9d
