The Boston Globe has documented the boarding of the USS Constitution by a Redcoat!  During her long years of active duty, the USS Constitution, known as Old Ironsides, was never successfully boarded by enemy marines.  Yet, here we see the distinctive uniform of a Royal Navy Marine – a red coat with white trim and a black belt.  Immediately behind the Redcoat was a gentlemen in green. Could that be a British rifleman?  The hat definably looks wrong however.  (Looks more like an elf than a rifleman. )  And I didn’t think the Royal Navy allowed their marines to have such long white beards. Very confusing.
