I've been told that the Constitution was "accidentally" sunk for the insurance money.

You are absolutely right. It was being towed to Japan for scrap metal, and then sunk in a "storm".
Another true story; The Constitution was used as a cadaver ship for the Korean / Viet Nam / wars, and then transformed back to a cruise line. Yes, this ship was haunted.
It's stories like these that can raise the price of a simple Tiki mug. Hmmm?
