USS Constitution sailors' legends

The USS Constitution, berthed in the Charlestown Navy Yard at 1 Constitution Road, has accumulated maritime folklore and tales that former sailors' spirits linger aboard the ship; such stories are mentioned in museum tours and local storytelling. The vessel's active service since 1797 and its many sailors' deaths over time have made it a focal point for anecdotal ghost stories. These claims are part of popular folklore and are not substantiated by empirical evidence.
