While seated on the cannon carriage with a variety of antique and modern tools, including the safety googles on his head, a sailor dressed in his 1813 pattern uniform aboard USS Constitution cleans the dismantled salute cannon, fired only moments earlier during its turnaround cruise on October 14, 2014.
