Virginia with its tan bark sails is drawing large crowds. Meet our docents at the pier 6 sign and we will get you on board!
We are under full sail coming back into Boston Harbor for the Sail Boston Parade of Sail! Just passing Spectacle Island and coming in with Esmeralda and Tyrone!
Privileged positioning and the TV crew commented on how well you were moving!
Nice to see the old Tyrone once more. She was our favorite "pirate schooner" in Boothbay Harbor in the 1960s.
Passing us now
Beautiful
Love that you all get to be a part of this! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Watched you sail into Boston from Bath, ME! Beautiful 1st ship!
