"Pride Of Baltimore"
   
She was in Chicago for "Tall Ships Chicago" I was able to go aboard. Had a great conversation with members of the crew.
I was also able to go aboard the replica of HMS Bounty. I have a picture of my lady friend standing at the helm of "Bounty".
Was deeply saddened to hear of "bounty" being taken by Hurricane Sandy.
This one, at the quay of the "Seaport Village and Museum", (the W.W. "Marsland", named in memory of "bil" Marsland,a member departed of Big Blue ) is a Brigantine ( no fore/aft sail on the foremast ), of about the same tonnage as that Tops'l Schooner.
   
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
