In 1846 she joined the Pacific Squadron off Mexico and California.

Pope Pius IX visited her in 1849, the first time a sitting Pope had set foot on United States territory.

After capturing her last prize, the slaver H.N. Gambrill, in 1854, Constitution returned to the United States.

The loss of United States at Gosport in 1861 made Constitution the last of the original six frigates still afloat.

Except for a trouble-filled cruise to France for the 1878 Paris Exposition, Constitution spent the remainder of the 19th Century as a floating training and accommodation ship.

In 1907 she opened in Boston as a museum, a role she has maintained since.

A British ship, the HMS Victory, is older, being built in 1778, but has been dry docked in Portsmouth, England since 1922.

1925 School children across the United States raise over $154,000 as part of a “Pennies Campaign” to help restore “Old Ironsides”

In 1940 Major General Bruce Magruder saw a picture of Constitution and decided her nickname offered suitable inspiration for the United States Army’s new 1st Armored Division.

In 1946 it became the first American carrier to operate in the midwinter sub-Arctic, developing new flight deck procedures.

Midway served with the Atlantic Fleet for ten years, making seven deployments to European waters, patrolling “the soft underbelly” of NATO. A round-the-world cruise took Midway to the west coast in 1955, where it was rebuilt with an angled deck to improve jet operations.

Midway’s first combat deployment came in 1965 flying strikes against North Vietnam.

In the 1970's the brand name SCREEN·TECH® was trademarked and SCREEN·TECH® screening became widely known as the leading supplier of premier quality products.

Over a chaotic two day period during the fall of Saigon in April 1975, Midway was a floating base for large Air Force helicopters which evacuated more than 3,000 desperate refugees during Operation Frequent Wind.

In 1983 Bennett Mfg. along with the well-known SCREEN·TECH® brand, became AMERICAN SCREEN CORPORATION. Today our company is one of the largest wholesale screening suppliers in both the domestic and export markets.

The Midway’s actual arrival in San Diego in January 2004 was the culmination for me of nearly eight years of participation and contribution, albeit in highly specialized ways, in transforming an empty retired carrier into a leading museum and attraction.
