The 11,000-pound U.S.S. Constellation anchor was removed from its display area alongside the Naval War College Museum today in order to transport the artifact to Mystic, CT for restoration. The Constellation was homeported here from 1894 to 1946, serving as a training vessel at the installation. Today, the ship is a museum in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The project is estimated to take several months to complete. The Constellation was the last sail-only warship built for the U.S. Navy.
