If you hear loud booms from Boston Harbor, it's a cannon salute for the USS Constitution, Boston Police reassure.

The T reports the turnaround of Old Ironsides is causing 30-minute delays on the Charlestown ferry.

It would be real nice if the Navy's Constitution web site gave a time for this!!

So I assume her refit has been completed? Was sad to see her in shambles during the tall ship week.

The ship didn't look too great when I rode by it two weeks ago.

No, she is still being worked on. Today was her birthday so she went out as far as the Coast Guard Base, fired a 19 gun salute, and then went back into her berth. She probably won't be completed until sometime next year if things go well. It is in preparation for 2012 and the bicentennial of the war of 1812.

She does look much better than she had, though.
