06 Jul 00 - 08:04 PM (#253122) Subject: OpSail 2000 Photographs From: Liam's Brother On July 4th, I was singing on an observation boat during the "Parade of Sail" in New York Bay. We were in excellent position to see the Tall Ships, being actually right in between the QE2 and the channel in which the ships sailed. I took a roll of film and a camera with me and put the prints on a webpage today. To see the pictures, go to http://sites.netscape.net/folkmusic/milnerconroy and scroll down till you get to OpSail 2000 Photo Gallery.

06 Jul 00 - 08:39 PM (#253140) Subject: RE: OpSail 2000 Photographs From: Liam's Brother Hi Barry! The Wavertree was determined unseaworthy by the Coast Guard so she was unable to participate in the Parade of Sail. A lot of work was done on the ship recently and, from our vantage point on Peking, she was looking better and better all the time. Obviously, internally, a great deal more needs to be done. It was great to see her out in the Bay however. A few of us went to South Street yesterday evening for a walk around the tall ships tied up there. One thing that struck me immediately is how large the absent Peking is by comparison. Huge!
All the best,

I lost the paper with the blue clicky thing instructions on it and I also lost interest in finding that paper... however, I appreciate its benefits. Delighted this brings back good memories to you, Kat.
All the best, |
