The master gun team of the USS Constitution demonstrates the loading and firing of a 5,800-pound, late 18th century long gun during the opening ceremony for Boston Navy Week. The demonstration, performed by the "Old Ironsides"crew in their period uniforms, is one of many Navy events scheduled throughout the Boston area during the week. Navy Weeks are designed to show Americans the investment they have made in their Navy and increase awareness in cities that do not have a significant Navy presence.
