The way you said "I'm gonna getasnack cuszmungry" - now you're speaking like a native and munging all those words together - chapeau!

The USS Constitution is the oldest ship in continious service in the world. Glad you enjoyed it

I am so happy to see you enjoying Boston so much. We are very proud of our city and, despite what some may think, we enjoy sharing it with others. Seeing you having a good time despite visiting in March means a lot. Please do come again in the summer or autumn when things are a bit more "alive." If you want to visit Cape Cod, you will always have a place to stay. Bon voyage, jeune femme!

Kansas Grandpa checking in. I lived just north of Boston up in New Hampshire 26 years. Boston is a town with serious history. I spent a bit of time there back in those days. I Love being on this journey with you. Thank You. in the 19th century there was a significant French Population in New England as the French came down from Quebec to work in the textile mills which were the backbone of Industry in the 1800s in this aria of the country. Enjoy your time in Boston Dear. ...

Boston is a very luxurious city. It feels like you get such quality for how much smaller it is. It’s so clean and I always love walking around and looking at everything. I miss it a lot.

It's funny to hear you mention your surprise at people wearing shorts and slippers on cold days there, because I often say the same thing. It can be the coldest day of the year or we can be in the middle of a snowstorm and there will still be some people wearing shorts outside! I also love those shots of the buildings and the harbor surrounded with fog. It gives the city such a cool feeling, especially when the fog is illuminated by the buildings at night!

Please please please come back when the weather is warmer and the flowers are in bloom. It’s so much more beautiful and nice to walk around. I think you’ll enjoy it so much more. I’m glad you are getting the most out of it with your trip! Love your positive attitude toward my city. ❤ The slipper thing is a younger generation thing. I’m in my 40s and would never. But my 12 year old does all the time 🤦🏼‍♀️. Love your videos!

If you're from Boston and near-about, most folks tend to pronounce it like "BAH-ston"...those who speak unaccented USA English call it "BOSS-ton". Ahhh, New England winters! We are a hardy folk in these parts! Our tolerance for the cold is on a different level. I wish you were seeing how gorgeous our weather can be in the spring and early autumn...you're just gonna have to come back, that's all! Still loving that you're here! Have a fantastic time!

Also, not sure if you’ll just have visited Southern NH but the White Mountains (North Conway specifically) are absolutely beautiful and if you didn’t get a chance on this trip, check them out some day! Mount Washington has some of the most extreme weather on the PLANET and is absolutely wonderful

The USS Constitution is a frigate , still commissioned in the US Navy. American frigates were built much stronger than the British and French frigates, with more guns, so they were somewhere between a frigate and a Ship of the Line, which was the largest warship of the time.

Absolutely love the food in Boston. One of the best cities in the world. Also, thanks to your ancestors for helping us win our Independence.

I can see why you enjoyed Boston so much, it seems to have a whole different vibe to other cities. And so much history, it’s fascinating.

You’ve inspired me to visit the USS Constitution Museum. I walk past it daily on the way to my office, but haven’t visited since I was a child! I love seeing my city through your eyes. Enjoy! 😊

Marie, thanks for sharing your time in Boston. I live about 40 miles south of Boston, moved here in 1988. Boston is a beautiful city.

The USS Constitution is a Frigate. The next bigger type of warship for that time period is a Ship of the line. There is one in England. It was Admiral Nelson's flag ship. It is the HMS Victory. You should see it next time you go across the channel.

Bostonian here. Yes, we are a little all over the place when it comes to our outfits. It is not uncommon to see people wearing short sleeves and others wearing winter coats at the same time.

I've been waiting for so long for Marie to get up to my home town. It's not the best time to visit, but at least there was no snow on the ground.

Marie's going to love New Hampshire.

Dunkin is "everywhere" because Boston is it's corporate headquarters. It's where the company started.

I haven't been to Boston in years. Thanks for jumpstarting my memories.

I lived in Massachusetts a few years ago and seeing the same sites you did brought back great memories. Boston Common is a great place to visit in the spring and fall seasons.

Boston is awesome! Looking forward to seeing all of the historic things I know you'll explore.

I remember seeing and hearing Tracy Chapman playing in the Cambridge area subway stations back before she became famous! 😊

Marie, you're lucky to have had that place all to yourself! When I was there it was jam packed full of people! In fact, I've never seen the waterfront look so deserted. You really are fortunate to have had the views all to yourself, though I'm sure the weather was a big contributor to that. If it had been blue sky, you would have likely seen far more people. I never saw the Boston Public Library, and it's awesome that you got a chance to see it! It's funny, you're mentioning that you're seeing people wearing shorts and sandals when it's cold outside. Some people just have a better tolerance to cold than others. They just don't feel it, so why not wear something comfortable? I once talked to a guy who was sweating, walking around in shorts and sandals and he was slipping on frozen water on the sidewalk. I asked him how he could possibly be sweating. He said that he just got there from the North Slope of Alaska where it had been -45 degrees. He said, it felt like Summer to him! We both laughed. Thanks for bringing us all along on your adventures and as always, keep smiling!

Glad you are enjoying the historical significance of Boston. Dress warm and be safe.🦜🦜

Constellation had about half the guns and only about 2/3rds the displacement of Constitution. But it's a bit of a cube-square problem; the extra 50% displacement won't make Constitution seem much bigger. It's about 20 feet longer, exclusive of the bowsprit. At 10:38, where you see the Union Oyster House? The King of France, then in exile, used to give French lessons to the ladies of Boston in an upstairs room. Yes, really.

You mentioned people walking around in shorts and slippers while it's cold out? I myself have gone out in -20 degree weather in my pajamas while wearing a sweater. Some people are just built differently than others. Looking forward to the next one! 🍻 ✈️ 🌎 🇺🇸

6:21 oh wow! This is amazing inside!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I love that you're completing your National Park Service passport. I'm bummed that I don't know where mine is at the moment!

Thank you, Ms. Marie, it is always a pleasure to see your latest adventures. As always stay safe and most importantly have fun.

Such a great and safe walking city. So full of culture and History.

Welcome to Boston 😊. Sundays were always a trip to the original Kanes when I lived in Saugus

I always thought Boston is one of our most European cities - so walkable!

One of your best videos yet! Your English is improving daily as well!

Bonjour Marie! Glad you had a great time in Boston. I'm also glad that you didn't feel "cold" as I would recommend going to Northern locations in warmer weather BUT the cost is typically higher. Really hope that you come to the Midwest at some point and I'll again mention the Woodward Dream Cruise in the Detroit, Michigan area. It's the third Saturday in August and there is usually an entire area just for Mustangs from every year made, and Ford has a whole city block full of new vehicles, including Mustangs, as well as specially modified and racing Mustangs. Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed

Dunkin Donuts was founded in Boston, so that’s why there’s so many in the city

So glad you enjoyed my city, I didn’t meet you on your trip but we were honored to have you! ❤

I live north of Boston. I’ve been following you since the beginning. I can’t believe you were so close. Glad you liked our city. And Kane’s was definitely a good call.

Awesome!! So much fun for me seeing the USA through your eyes. There is a ton of history in Boston. So many of the founding fathers buried in a cemetery right there. You are becoming more American every time you visit. Hope you enjoyed yourself and can't wait for New Hampshire. Stay well and be safe.

I hope you enjoy New Hampshire, i was born and raised there. Great state to live in, amazing scenery and wildlife.

Hello Marie! So nice to see you enjoying Boston! A couple of years ago, we almost crossed paths near Washington DC, as i was on my way to Boston! It is so much fun to see you visiting places i have been to and enjoyed! USS Constitution is a glorious old ship! And you were at the Boston Common last video. Hope you have/had a great time up there in Beantown!

I love that Baltimore and Boston are both proud of their historic ships! Constellation is about half a century younger than the Constitution, which helps explain why it felt bigger. Loving these city visits!

Aye Aye , Captain Marie 😃 ⛵ 🏙️ ' Library forever ' 🏅 Wrapped up nice & snuggly taking on the big city in your stride. Looks exciting & easy getting around , i like the uniqueness of the areas along with the first class museums. Cambridge a lovely place to visit alongside the river ( bike tours) a mixture of old & new , you might get lucky & come across some wild turkey's. A new yummy restaurant , mothership revival kitchen opened up a few months ago. Harvard's iconic , one of the oldest & most prestigious since puritan John harvard founded it in 1636 . It's definitely worth wandering around for its beautiful & charming architecture. There's a fella Oliver , a funny senior who takes guided tours & shares all about student life if he's still there. It's adorable coming across a bench for loving couples like that. Old Ironsides remarkably well persevered for its age , impressive cannon's , alot of interesting info bringing history alive. Signed by Washington , it's one of six frigates that built the US navy & took three attempts before setting sail on Oct 21 , 1797 to the Caribbean in the quasi war between Britain & France , the first action by the US navy to protect its shipping abroad , you can find more about the timeline at the museum website. It's something else seeing shrapnel , i guess they attacked because of what it symbolises. The museum had superb exbits apart from the DEI nonsense , honourable merit & being all American will always win out no matter what the lefty's say about their failing ideology , just look at what's happening with Hollywood & Boeing , i didn't mean to go on FF. I liked the Lego ship , it would be fun if you made something like that for a video someday ( Ventura county in California has among the best model ships in the country to) the uniform looked brand new , the interactive hologram was cool , we'll have them in our homes before you know it for better or worse , a new way to get together no matter where we are. They sure can't get enough of all 🥯 there , that's a big one , so scrumptious 😋 , i need to try out the recipe for breakfast. The public library was spectacular , truly like a palace with its grand staircase & olde paintings , I've never seen a 📖 the likes of it before.It's interesting coming across the ties to Louis Philippe , I'm wondering if Boston has much of a french speaking community anymore , there's plenty of french restaurants. It's a joy being taken along like always , I'm intrigued about what other sights you've discovered , looking forward to it. Thanks Marie , happy St Paddy's day , enjoy the parade, pretend your Irish & stay lucky ☘️🍻 💕✌️

My first time on board the CONSTITUTION was in 1942 during W. W. 2. My Aunt took my brother and I to CHARLESTOWN navy yard one day and while we were amazed at the size of the ship, my Aunt was getting smiles from all the sailors. Ha ! My brother ended up working on the ship as a rigger in 1957 and '58 and told me about all the rotted timber that they replaced with new white pine I think. Also, the museum was on the ship in every room and eventually was moved to the onshore museum. There was no security in those years even though it was probably easy to steal some souveniers, we never heard of any theft of artifacts. Thanks for listening.

I have to say, your music selection is leagues above other travel channels. The attention you put into it is noticed. Glad you enjoyed Boston!

Very good video .USS Constituton ,thank you for the visit . Beautiful town...

The constitution is a decent ship for its time. Originally launched in 1797 but was quickly overhauled for the war of 1812. The ship was nicknamed old Ironsides for her ability to resist canon fire. It was permanently docked in 1907 as a museum ship. Constitution was retrofitted several times over the years to at least modern standards although its fighting days are over. It’s a good practice ship for naval cadets to train on as the ship is quite slow and has no real steering besides the wind and maybe paddles. The constitution barely moves out of port meaning it’s not going to move.

As an american, I've been to Boston only once and when I went to go see the USS Constitution it happened to be in dry dock so nobody was allowed on board. I can't imagine if I'd've come all the way from France only for that to happen. Luckily it didn't and you got to see the whole thing.

The reason people are dressed in shorts and slippers is because 8c is not considered cold for Boston in the winter. This was a very warm year. Normally it would be around 0c with piles of snow everywhere.

Now that is my kind of doughnut. That museum looks awesome I would like to see that some time. Great video Marie. Looking forward to the next one.

Wow...wasn't this fun and interesting! Couldn't have picked a better 🇺🇸 city to tour to get a sense of our history! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey Marie, welcome back to the states. I hope that while you were in Boston you were able to check out the Union Oyster House. It’s one of the oldest operating restaurants in the United States. There, dining room, they have a plaque dedicated to King Luis Philip I of France.

Right off the bat when you mentioned the way people were dressed in the cold, the only thing that came to my mind was "welcome to New England" lol that's shorts temperature for us lol

I'm pretty new to your channel, but I checked it out because I live about an hour south of Boston. Boston will always hold a special place to anyone who lives in this state. I love the history here. Glad to see you enjoyed it for the most part, minus the weather!

Constellation is the sister to the Constitution. Shoot, you could have gone down to Quincy and gone on board the USS Salem (navy he4avy cruiser) or up to Fall river to go on board the USS Massachusetts (navy WW2 era battleship).

I loved Boston when I visited. It was less cloudy and foggy lol

Boston is a very neat small and at the same time Big Historic city.

Glad you are enjoying Boston 👍

Welcome to Boston ! Glad you are enjoying it. Pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd (Park the car in Harvard Yard) is a well known illustration of our Boston accent

Hey Marie! Wow, Boston looks amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience.

This is how I traveled in Europe a million years ago when I was in my 20s! Memories flooding back as you experience a place I'm so familiar with in the way I experienced places that you'd probably be familiar with...

I had the opportunity to tag along with my husband to Boston with his work earlier in April. Your content gave me some wonderful pointers on some sights. I even took a page out of your book and went to Fenway to watch the Red Sox play! Thanks for your content! Happy travels to you!

Hi Miss Marie !!!! Good to have you back & Exploring the sites !!! 👋👍👍😎 As always the like button ✅ has been Illuminated 😁🤗🇺🇲🌍☀️🔆🌞🏝️

I was born in Boston and lived there for the first 42 years of my life. Then I moved to Aarhus Denmark in 2005. I went back in 08 for a visit with my Danish wife. Experiencing Boston as a tourist is much different than living, studying, working, in the city. But maybe someday you will visit Aarhus and show the world´s happiest city on a youtube video! Aarhus is also known as the city of smiles or the world`s smallest big city! (Rated happiest city in 2024)

Thank you for your great vireo's, you have taken me places that as a citizen have not had the chance to visit and felt I was along with you....Merci

Wonderful video Marie. Probably too late for this, but if you get a sunny day, you should walk the Freedom Trail. As a history lover, you'll enjoy it. Looks like you enjoyed the Boston Cream Pie. My favorite of all the donuts. I hope you get to see some of the other New England states on this trip. It really is a beautiful region.

The USS Constitution is actually a Heavy Frigate compared to the USS Constellation which is only a Frigate. 2,200 ton displacement compared to 1,265 tons of the Constellation. That's a big difference. I would say the difference you felt was that it was under repair and missing its masts, so in essence it was cut in half, from the top down. As someone who lives close to Boston, so glad you enjoyed your trip.

Hello from NH! Enjoy your travels.

Glad your enjoying your stay in my city/state. Lots of great history here. Gotta Love our Boston Creme Doughnut =)

5Imagine life aboard the USS Constitution 200 years ago. I’ve also toured the USS North Carolina in Wilmington NC, a WW2 battleship.Amazing the difference in 150 years!

A common winter day in Boston is in the -20 to -10c range so 7/8c is downright pleasant for them

I love your channel. So glad I came across it. Come to Colorado sometime and I know you'll love it here. I grew up in Massachusetts, and my friend had her wedding at the Boston Public Library. It was all closed down just for them and it was a spectacular setting for a wedding. I can picture her in her dress on those beautiful marble stairs.

Thanks for visiting our city!

I love your videos so much! I always like each one and I'm glad you had fun in Boston!

USS CONSTITUTION and USS CONSTELLATION are sister ships. They are the same size and design

i've always wanted to visit boston

Merci!

Bon jour, Marie. Welcome back.

Welcome to Boston thanks for coming out khed

I love Boston

LOL, being a lifelong Massachusetts resident, I literally laughed out loud about your comment about people wearing shorts in cold weather. Yup, you see that all the time here. :-) (I'm not one of them. If it's cold, damn it, it's cold :-) ). By the way, thank you for your love of my country. It's beautiful to see a foreigner to our shores, love our land so.

Loved the video Marie. Wish the weather was nicer for you

Grew up in Maine living in Puerto Rico and when you showed that fog at night i could smell it

The first o in Boston is pronounced like the o in cost or lost.😊

I look forward to this!!, as I live in Boston. Would have been wild if I had run into you when you were in town. 😁

If you want to visit large ships there are plenty but they are from WW2 and after. The USS Missouri, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Iowa are all WW2 battleships and they are quite large. The largest museum ships are however aircraft carriers like the USS MIdway, Hornet, Lexington, and Yorktown. Most notable is the USS Missouri BB-63. She resides at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. The Japanese Empire surrendered aboard her in 1945.

Thanks!

The USS Constellation is a 38 gun Sloop-of-War. The USS Constitution is a 44 gun heavy frigate. She is the bigger of the two. While the Brits will say that the HMS Victory is older, which is true, Victory has no masts, is in permanent dry-dock, and, will never sail again. The USS Constitution is still afloat, and, once her latest round of repairs are completed, will be able to sail.

I had to laugh....this last Saturday I went to the Sox game and the guy drumming on the buckets at the end of your video, was right outside Gate A. I threw him a buck! LOL! He gets around! By the way, your memory of the Constellation isn't accurate. The Constitution is significantly larger and with many more cannons. She is a frigate, where the Constellation is a sloop...a completely different class of ship. I absolutely LOVE your vids about my hometown. Boston is a special place.

Next time you're in Boston, try the Freedom Trail, Museum of Science, and the New England Aquarium! Oh, and Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market!

I lived in a suburb of Boston. I was in the city nearly every day. Good public transportation and Boston is very walkable with distinct neighborhoods. Too bad you visited on a crappy day. Summer is the best time to go. Lots of people walking about. The city really comes alive.

The USS Constitution in Boston: Designed by Joshua Humphreys, the frigate USS Constitution was launched at Edmond Hartt Shipyard in Boston on October 21, 1797. Completed at a cost of $302,718, it carried a crew of 450 to 500 men, measured 204 feet in length with a beam of 43.5 feet and displaced 2,200 tons of water. The USS Constellation in Baltimore: Constellation is 181 feet (55 m) long at the waterline and 199 feet (61 m) long overall. She has a beam of 41 feet (12 m) at the waterline, and is 43 feet (13 m) across at her widest point. Her maximum draft is 21 feet (6.4 m) at a full load displacement of 1,400 long tons (1,422 t). The ship's crew numbered 21 officers and 265 enlisted men. So the Constitution is slightly larger than the Constellation, but definitely not "much larger". It did however carry a significantly larger crew.

Hi Marie, catching up on missed videos. Very cool place full of history. That library looks absolutely amazing. I want to go to Boston and surroundings to check out the revolutionary war history that’s there.

One of your best!

Welcome to Boston, a suggestion if you come again ride the t but get off at each stop especially the red line going to and past Harvard. I think if I view this right you went directly to Harvard and skipped areas like Beacon Hill, Central , Porter and Davis Squares, all have a very different feeling to each other. Same applies in the opposite direction from downtown red and orange lines in particular. And yes we wear shorts unless its subzero or snowing (and even then think twice about it).

I've been to Boston many times. Never been to the Public Library. Wow!👀

Welcome to Boston😊

Excellent!! Love video!

awesome thanks Other suggestions that are not in any travel guild there in Jamaica Plain a section of Boston Like East Boston or South Boston there is a Jamaica Plain its a lot of walking but here goes Ya take the Orange Line to Forest Hills Walk to the Forest Hills Cemtery from Forset Hills Station 95 Forest Hills Ave, 250 Acrea Built in 1848 And or Walk to the Arnold Arboretum 281 Acres built in 1872 while in JP enjoy Jamaica Pond and Get Ice Cream from J.P Licks founding store

Dear, Go see the Boston Aquarium ! Its Huge ! 😎
