It owes its nickname \"Old Ironsides\" to the War of 1812, when British cannonballs supposedly bounced off its solid oak planks as if they were made of iron. She is more than a ship; she is a floating symbol of the strength and tradition of the US Navy. Today she is still in Boston and is looked after by an active Navy crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScope of delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePlastic model kit (not assembled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIllustrated, multilingual building instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExtensive set of decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSail set (structured plastic sails)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eYarn for standing and running rigging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre you ready for your masterpiece?
