These photos were taken while HMS Rose was on a Great Lakes Tour in August 1994 with a stopover in Thunder Bay . I used a Pentax K1000 film camera at the time and made digital copies from the prints. I hope that the tall ships return in the future as they are really something to see.
A short history from Wikipedia :HMS Rose was a 20-gun (Seaford-class)[1] sixth-rate post ship of the Royal Navy, built in Hull, England in 1757. The Replica was built in Lunenburg N.S. in 1970 Her activities in suppressing smuggling in the colony of Rhode Island provoked the formation of what became the Continental Navy, precursor of the modern United States Navy. She was based at the North American station in the West Indies and then used in the American Revolutionary War. She was scuttled in the harbor of Savannah, Georgia in 1779. A replica was built in 1970, then modified to match HMS Surprise, and used in two films, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World and Pirates of the Caribbean:
Renamed, Surprise, the vessel is now a part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego as a dockside attraction.
