old ironsides
"Old Ironsides" is a popular nickname that has been used to refer to several historical ironclad warships or entities, most notably the USS Constitution, a heavy frigate of the US Navy launched in 1797. The nickname "Old Ironsides" is reputed to have come about during a battle in the War of 1812 in which the ship was noted to be so strong, it seemed to repel British cannon fire, as if it was made of iron. Despite its nickname, the USS Constitution was made primarily from a combination of oak and pine.
