Tall Ships

My Sweetie and I headed to the Port of Cleveland to see the eleven tall ships that had sailed in on July 7.

They did not disappoint. We spent a little over an hour and a half walking past them and taking photos. Neither of us wanted to join the long lines to get on them for a closer look. Perhaps having seen one in Morro Bay years ago had satisfied our need to get on board. Tho the next time they come to Cleveland we are going to reserve spots to sail into port on one of them.

Enjoy.








This is the figurehead of the replica of the HMS Bounty built for the movie. Marlon Brando threatened to walk off the set if the planned burning of the ship was carried out. We have him to thank for having a chance to see it.



The Goodyear Blimp came up from Akron to check out the ships.




And one must have modern amenities:

    Great pictures! And wow -what an idea, reserving a spot to sail in. I didn't even know you could do that. I'm putting that on my wish list too.
