21-7-1997, she finally sailed again under her own power for her 200th birthday. Six-sail battle configuration would consist of jibs, topsails, and driver. Constitution's hull was built 21 inches (530 mm) thick in an era when 18 inches (460 mm) was common. Her vertical hull ribbing was placed 2 in (51 mm) apart instead of the standard 24 in (610 mm). Her length between perpendiculars was 175 ft (53 m), with a 204 ft (62 m) length overall[3] and a width of 45 ft 2 in (13.8 m. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Constitution
