USS CONSTITUTION Purple Heart Underway Demonstration Friday, August 9th, 2024 Underway Information: Security will open at 0830 on Friday morning. All guests must board no later than 0930. Please arrive early to allow adequate time for security screening.
Expected duration of the underway is approximately 4 hours (1000-1400). Portable restrooms will be available on board while the ship is underway. Water coolers will be available on board, but no food will be served. We recommend all guests bring a snack, a water bottle, and sunscreen for the underway. Smoking and vaping are prohibited onboard USS CONSTITUTION (it is a wooden ship, after all!) We recommend all guests wear comfortable, close-toed shoes and comfortable lightweight clothing while underway. There is very limited shade onboard (only below deck), no seating, and the Spar Deck (top deck) can get hot in the Summer months. USSC has limited medical personnel, supplies and equipment needed to respond to urgent and emergency medical issues. Consider bringing medication that may be needed. Security: All guests age 18 and older must show a photo ID to board. All guests must pass through a security screening (similar to an airport) prior to boarding. Guests will pass through metal detectors and bags will pass through an x-ray machine. Water bottles are allowed through security. Weapons of any type are not permitted on USS CONSTITUTION.
