Tall Ships

Last weekend my dh was traveling so the rest of us went to a nearby town for a Tall Ship Festival.

There were 11 tall ships plus the two tall ships that are teaching vessels and always in town.

It was a lot of standing in line. You stood in line to get on the shuttle bus, you stood in line to get tickets, and you stood in line to tour the ships. We toured two large ships and one small one.

The Bounty was here but the line to tour that was way too long for us. The Bounty was made for one of the old Mutiny on the Bounty movies and was in Treasure Island and one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Nathan spotted this picture opportunity and called a juxtaposition between the old and the new.

Besides the tall ships, there were pirate shows...

... knot tying demonstrations...

... pulling up sails ...

... and a cool place where they displayed all the weapons and armor of the company that put on the pirate shows.
