The Tall Ships

[jimb]

Five Tall Ships came into port today. It was a beautiful day and many people came to watch the ships come in, shooting off cannons as they did. There will be a three day event and ship boarding. This event takes place each year at about the same time in August. Enjoy the pictures.

Jim,
Is that the Pride of Baltimore II ?

 

[jimb]

T.C., You are right on the first ship it is the 157 ft. 1812 era clipper Pride of Baltimore 2. The rest are the 198 ft. Brig Niagara. Also took pics of the Red Witch, Appledore 4 and Friends Good Will. But the Brig is the most impressive with it's wide beam.

Jim,
I am very familiar with the "Pride" and "Pride II". The Pride went down in a freak storm off NC. I've toured both... including the "Bounty" in the Milwaukee harbor many years ago. Thanks for the pics.... beautiful. It's like seeing an old girlfriend. TTC

Majestic! I'd love to pull into our Sternwheeler Festival Regatta on one of those!

T.C. Since you asked! If the post of the bounty and the Nina may not fit I may have to start a new post. The Nina come complete with Old Criss Columbus.

I can fill this page with words but just one word will fit.... Magnificent! TTC

T.C. The ships will be leaving Port late Sunday or early Monday. I estimated that when they came in there were about 500 people to great them. You would think that that many people would be quite loud, but it was as quiet as church on a Sunday morning. Not even a dog barked! Everyone was in awe of the tall ships!

There must be more than one BOUNTY. The one I toured hailed from Canada. Maybe it was sold to NY. mmmmm TTC
