Few drawings capture the cramped living quarters of a warship as clearly as this set of elevations and plans of the Commodore's Quarters aboard USS *Constitution*. The frigate was launched in 1797 and built to fight the Barbary corsairs, and her officers' spaces were tucked into the stern, where a senior commander needed both privacy and a view of the sea. The careful measured drawings record the room layouts, partitions, and window placements that shaped daily life on board. The ship later earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" after defeating HMS *Guerriere* in the War of 1812, and she is still moored at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston.
