"Old Ironsides," the USS Constitution, has been undergoing a $6 million restoration project for nearly three years. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2010.

Jay Flanagan and John Miles work on the ship's main top mast in the Charleston Navy Shipyard on June 4. At 210 feet, the mast is the ship's highest point.
