In the excerpt from the poem "Old Ironsides," the meaning of the word "tread" is the following:

E. March.

  • In "Old Ironsides," author Oliver Wendell Holmes talks about the battleship USS Constitution.
  • In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Holmes expresses his feelings about the fact that the ship is being decomissioned, that is, taken out of active service.
  • The ship's deck will no longer be a place where "the victor's tread," that is, where the brave soldiers who fought in the war will march.
  • The poem was actually one of the reasons why the ship ended up not being decomissioned.
  • That means the USS Constitution is still in active service.
