This important naval victory marked a turning point in the war.
The ship was made of live oak, red cedar, hard pine, and a copper sheath. It carried 44 cannons, with three masts holding 72 sails and carried a crew of 450. The ship was dubbed “Old Ironsides”.
This ship can be visited at the Boston National Historical Park in Massachusetts.

In 1915, Mabel Broome became the first African- American to become an officer in The Salvation Army.
She led the charge to break the color line and reinforced the Army’s commitment to give leadership roles to women.
Broome was also one of the first “slum sisters” – female officers who went into a city’s poorest neighborhoods and attended to people’s most basic needs.
