Navy sailors place the sail on the yard of the main mast aboard the USS Constitution for the first time since the ship began a restoration period in 2007 in Charlestown, Mass., on June 29, 2011. The sailors routinely work to improve seamanship skills to prepare for possibly sailing the ship for the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
