After lunch, we went on a tour of Boston. I saw many different boats. The name of the boat was the USS Constitution. I saw the Converse shoe factory. My favorite part of the trip was seeing the seagulls sitting on the boat. The boat was built a long time ago.

Yesterday, we went on the Freedom Trail in Boston. My favorite thing that we saw was the Converse Shoe Factory right next to the TD Garden. Converse is a subsidiary of Nike, Inc., and was founded in February 1908 in Malden, Massachusetts. In the beginning, Converse was worn mostly by basketball players, however, now it is worn by many different people throughout the United States.
Yesterday we walked to the USS Constitution. I thought it was a very cool vessel. My favorite part about seeing the USS Constitution was seeing the destroyer docked nearby. I love seeing Military/Navy vehicles. The area where the USS Constitution is docked is blocked off because it is a national monument and should be protected.
Yesterday, we walked along the historic Freedom Trail in Boston and visited landmarks such as the Bunker Hill Monument, and the Warren House. We didn’t have time to climb the monument at Bunker Hill, but we were able to look at it.
As we were going down the Freedom Trail we came up to a ship known around the world as the USS Constitution. The USS Constitution was a ship built in 1797 and still stands today as one of the most iconic ships in the United States. As we came closer to the ship we saw personnel from the United States Navy walking around the area. It is a very high honor to be put on guard of the USS Constitution. Only the very best are put there to protect the ship. The ship’s nickname is Old Ironsides after the war with the British. During the war, the British were shooting cannonballs at the ship and they were bouncing off the sides, after this the ship gained its name of Old Ironsides. Once a year the USS Constitution heads out of the harbor to Fort Independence for a 21-gun salute. The Constitution is our oldest operating warship used to train sailors in the US Navy as she cruises through Boston Harbor. Overall I thought the ship was the coolest due to its history and the pure size of the ship.

We saw ship in water in Boston Harbor. The ship was big as the Concord Carlisle high school. The name of the ship is USS Constitution. The ship was built in March 1794. October 1797 the ship made its first Voyage. Overall, I like how big it is.

When we went on our walk down the freedom trail we took the Charleston route instead of the North End route too see some of the main attractions along the Freedom Trail. We saw the USS Constitution, The Bunker Hill Monument, The Warren Tavern, and walked through the old streets of Charleston.

After this we went to the Bunker Hill Monument but we were not able to climb up the Obelisk because we did not have enough time to climb up and back. We asked the person inside the building how long it took on average to climb up and down the Monument and she said 25 minutes. There are 294 steps in the Bunker Hill Monument. The Bunker Hill Monument was made to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill, which was one of the first fights between British and US forces in the American Revolutionary War, fought there June 17, 1775.
On the way back we walked by the Warren Tavern. The Warren Tavern is one of the most historic taverns in America. It is the oldest tavern in Massachusetts and was visited by many famous individuals including George Washington and Paul Revere. Dr. Joseph Warren was an American physician who played a huge role in American Patriot organizations in Boston. Dr. Warren insisted on serving his country on the front lines and consequently died because of his patriotism on the front lines.
