🧭 Climb into the past aboard Lady Washington and Christine Bryant who joined us May 13, 2019, for a jazz sail from the Port of Oakland. “Amazing crew. Helpful. Answered multitude of questions & even got to help hoist the sails.” ⛵ 📸 Christine Bryant #LadyWashington #KeepLadySailing #OaklandCA

This week's header image (25 May - 1 June): the English flagship HMS Royal James burning and sinking after being set ablaze by a Dutch fireship at the Battle of Solebay, 28 May (O.S.) 1672. An early 18th-century painting of the scene by Peter Monamy (Royal Museums Greenwich: BHC0301). #RoyalNavy

The news and videos of the ARM Cuauhtémoc (the Mexican Navy's tall ship sail training vessel) hitting the Brooklyn Bridge has me thinking about when I got to board its sister ship, the ARC Gloria (of the Colombian Navy) in Baltimore a few years ago. Such a gorgeous ship.

Sincerest condolences to the crew & families associated with the Mexican Navy’s sail training ship Cuauhtémoc which had just concluded a visit to New York’s Seaport Museum. Such a tragic accident with many questions to be answered by the Navy and US NTSB southstreetseaportmuseum.org/cuauhtemoc/

This footage shows the ship setting sail with the masts full of sailors… Just minutes before it crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge 🙏 #BrooklynBridge #BoatCrash #NYC #Boat #Crash #Barco #Cuauhtémoc #Puente #Mexico #buquecuauhtemoc

I've lately been renewing my acquaintance with 7th Sea, the RPG and CCG that was hugely important to me when it came out in 1999. It's been fun, but a real bummer to find out that iconic 7th Sea artist William O'Connor died in 2018. What a talent, what a true talent.

2 Dead, 22 Seriously Injured Remember

"Manning the Yards" is a very old tradition dating back to the Age of Sail. When entering or leaving a port, sailors stood ready at the yards as a show of respect, to indicate their peaceful intentions, and also to communicate their strength. On modern ships the custom is "Manning the Rails."

Hey local art fans AND boat fans! These original wycinanki (Polish cut-paper folk art) art cards are for sale at Snug Books on Harford Road in Baltimore, and would make great lil gifts for anyone who loves the maritime side of this city...

I love how detailed it is!

My most Disneyland photo. We were blessed with overcast weather, which is wonderful (Disneyland in the rain is amazing). We got there when the park opened at 8, left at midnight when they closed and had a great deal of fun.

Huge thanks to Kathy Gendreau for sending us these gorgeous photos of the Lady Washington at Port Orchard and Foss Waterway. "We had an amazing time sailing on the Lady Washington from Port Orchard!" 📸 Kathy Gendreau #LadyWashington #TallShip #KeepLadySailing
