USCG Tall Ship

Taken with my p&s from a moving boat in Boston Harbor. I got to spend a great Saturday with my friends on their boat and we made a run through Boston Harbor and got a fabulous view of the tall ships - now if only I had grabbed my DSLR on the way out the door...

 

a couple of links to info about this ship....
