so we have to think about boston in an earlier time, and boston was much smaller buildings. think about people carrying all of their provisions on carts drawn by horses. remember, this is the biggest ship that's ever been built in boston. when the construction is happening in the 1790s. so we can meet a few of the people who provided the supplies for "constitution." we have the skillins brothers who carved the figurehead of "constitution." when she was first launched, you can see in a close-up of a painting from 1803, we have the oldest known image of "constitution" painted in 1803. you can see hercules standing on the firm rock of independence holding the document, the constitution in his hand because the ship is named for the document that governs our country as she defends our country. so the skillins brothers carved the figurehead. this is a wonderful representation of today of what that figurehead probably looked like. it actually was damaged when "constitution" was sailing in the mediterranean in the early 1800s so we don't have the original figurehead, but this gives

american history tv visited the "uss constitution" museum in boston located at the same pier where the ship is docked today. we toured an exhibit looking at lives of sailors aboard the "constitution" during the war of 1812. >> welcome to the "uss constitution" museum. my name is anne grimes rand and i am the president of the museum and pleased to share with you our newest award-winning exhibit called "all hands on deck," a look at the life of the enlisted crew who served on "constitution" during the war of 1812. we have been researching who were the men at the guns? what was their experience? as we walk upstairs we'll step back into time as boston of 1812 and you'll see how we load provisions on for "constitution," whether it is salted beef stored in a barrel or the live provisions, you might hear billy the goat being loaded aboard to provide fresh milk for the officers. in this exhibit we meet the enlisted sailors coming to constitution to join the crew, and it may be someone who served in the fishing fleet with a blockade they can't get to sea or african american sailors made up 10 t

here we are in boston of 1812. and a lieutenant from "constitution," like lieutenant morgan, would have rented a room on the waterfront. he'd put a notice in the newspaper, maybe get a little music, a drummer to attract attention to recruit sailors to join "constitution's" crew. 200 years ago you signed on for a specific ship and captain, you didn't just join the navy the way we do today. so each ship had to recruit their own sailors. so we'll go inside and see if you're willing to join "constitution's" crew in 1812. we're here in the recruiting station in our all hands on deck exhibit. here we ask a series of questions to see if you're willing to join "constitution's" crew because the ship needs about 450 men to serve on board. so we ask questions, are you willing to eat a biscuit as hard as a brick? because a ship's biscuit would have been stored in a barrel for months before you get to eat it. do you have all of your fingers, do you have all of your teeth? because we're looking for healthy sailors to serve on "c

as we walk upstairs we'll step back into time as boston of 1812 and you'll see how we load provisions on for "constitution," whether it is salted beef stored in a barrel or the live provisions, you might hear billy the goat being loaded aboard to provide fresh milk for the officers. in this exhibit we meet the enlisted sailors coming to constitution to join the crew, and it may be someone who served in the fishing fleet with a blockade they can't get to sea or african american sailors made up about 10 to 15% of "constitution's" crew. in the navy in 1812 working at sea you would be paid the same wages whether you were black or white, and that wasn't true on shore. during the war of 1812 our research uncovered another crew member who was a four-footed furry member of the crew. it was a terrier named guerriere. his owner named him after the first victory over guerriere, and he had a job to do on board the ship catching rats in the hold, but he could also travel to any part of the ship where sailors weren't allowed into officer's country in their quarters guerriere is someone who lets us

some of the college kids stay in boston, but a lot can't resist that siren song, boston still has a puritan past. >> in other words it's all worth it, neil, thank you for joining us. let's get another picture from the trading floors. brian is joining us, scott walkner is joining in. would you want chicago to throw it's hat into the ring as well? >> we already have groupon. we have finance, transportation, and the white sox, we don't need the yankees here. >> what is your read about the markets today, and there will be a decline when everyone comes back to work on monday? >> i think so, we had a sell off, there was a bad night in europe. we had a bad number this morning, unemployment. we could get a revision to last month, that didn't happen. more news that we have a global slow down. you look at the price of oil, and imf, the world's global cheer leader, and they say they're turning down their growth estimates, so not good news and hopefully something will happen next week. >> progress is that europe is what it is, there's no big solution yet on the table there that people can wrap their ar

long-standing relationship in boston, boston partners years ago where netanyahu worked with mitt romney on similar deals. >> i think here the republicans do have -- there is a vulnerability. the fact is the president has done an enormous amount helping guarantee security but that's not the issue. the issue is whether or not emotionally and psychologically he's perceived to be a lover of the idea of israel. like bill clinton was, even like george w. bush. here romney has a clear advantage. for a guy who is stiff and awkward, this is the one issue on which emotionally he can be the motor in chief in waiting so to speak. the president has a hard time emoting on most issues. when it comes to israelis, there's no question he sees israel much more along the line of the continuum of america's national security interests rather than on the values interest. that comes across. i think it won't make a difference in the election but in a tight election you don't want to alienate people and give anybody an issue against which to raise money against you. the israel issue could be that. >> aaron david
