Friday,
August 19, 2016: Tall Ships were
at Duluth, Minnesota. This one is the
U.S. Brig Niagara from Erie, Pennsylvania. The sailing ships event draws many thousands for a weekend once every two years. |
 |
|
Look, there's one under sail now in the harbor.
|
 |
|
There were a total of eight ships showing off for the public
|
 |
|
The Mist of Avalon
was a wonder to see near Duluth's famous Aerial Bridge. The Mist has
appeared in numerous movies and documentaries. |
 |
 |
| Everyone wanted to go aboard.
One child looked through a port and another at the compass while
while Paula was at the helm. |
|
 |
|
| Then there it
was. A Spanish galleon. Very impressive. |
|
 |
 |
| Aye mate, there be pirates
about! |
|
 |
 |
| Folks dressed as
they might from the 1700s and showed off their belongings. |
|
 |
 |
| A woman and small Captain Hook
from the
H.M.S. Nancy were there along with others who make a ship
sail. |
|
 |
 |
| Food back then was more basic
and good for you. Today it is often deep-fried, but who
could pass up fish and chips? |
|
 |
 |
| Lots of people on the water
that day in the Duluth harbor. |
|
 |
|
| Plenty of music
at the festival as well. |
|
 |
| Thousands waited their turn to go aboard
and tour a ship. But wait, what is the yellow thing on the
right? |
 |
 |
| It was a HUGE
rubber duck. Some purchased rubber ducks for their
bathtubs and took selfies with ducks on their heads. |
|
 |
| Paula liked this rowboat from the 1700s. Hop aboard, Paula, and go back in history. |
Quote of the day:
I should have been a sailor. Mark
