Sailing Ships

There is something magnificent about a sailing ship under full sail! For the first time in my life I was in Halifax, NS for Tall Ships Festival in 2012. I went aboard many of the ships, including The Bounty, and Pride of Baltimore. I watched Pride of Baltimore come into Halifax Harbour and fire a salute before docking. When they all left, I was in a great place to watch Parade of sail. I hope we never lose our love of these beautiful Ladies, and they continue to sail and give us the thrill of watching a past era recreated before our eyes!

Fair winds and following seas to them all and all who sail on them.
