Marines 1790s
permalink
I was in the USS Constitution a couple of weekends ago and there were Marines on board along with the Navy personnel. They were in period Marine uniforms (I'm assuming the mid 1790s or sometime soon after the turn of the century) but there are Marines, not merely reenactors.

I thought I'd post this picture here for Marine fans.

Great pics, JP. I'd never seen those uniforms outside of a museum before.
