Tall Ships......
Yesterday I visited Duluth Minnesota. There was a collection of 9 old time sailing ships in port so I took a bunch of pics ( 111 of them!). I have been fascinated by these old sailing ships since I was in grade school.
Enjoy...... ( hit the "slideshow" button)

Thanks for sharing those with us. I have always had a love affair with sailing ships. The ultimate freedom for me has always been sailing with the sound of the wind and no motor blaring in your ears.

I saw the HMS Rose come in to the Port of Duluth many years ago - quite a sight.

Cool stuff Randy. Thanks!
I wanted to get up there to see them, unfortunately I had to go to Milwaukee over the weekend.

Hey Randy, thanks for the treat, I think it would be great to go on one these, until I turned green and threw up!

I like the tall ships too... enough that I have them engraved on my ribs.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Whatcha packin' there Jimmy, it looks nice!
@ Galopede: Thats an American flag, after the crown pushed us out of the empire we had to take some time to develop our own. There are many early American flags with the same field, as a matter of fact this flag was very popular and many times had the words "Liberty and Union" stitched to them, indicating that we did not wish to break from Britian, but we were not going to be her dog either.
