I've posted a day shot of this ship but I feel like the night shot looks interesting. I just found out Galveston is offering day sails to tourist. Checked it out on line and it's $300 dollars a person. So, looks like I won't be going out for a day sail anytime soon.
Taken on the beach amongst the chaos of the Chittagong shipbreakng yards. Truly amazing and humbling to see these massive vessels stripped down piece by piece with very little infrastructure other than hard working local labor.

After the sinking of the original Pride in May 1986, the Board of Directors of the non-profit public-private agency that operated Pride for the city were reluctant to build a replacement, but an outpouring of unsolicited financial support from the public encouraged the Board into going forward with a new ship. By late summer of 1986, plans for a replacement were under way. The ship was to be named Pride of Baltimore II and serve as a sailing memorial to the original Pride. It was to be another "Baltimore Clipper" topsail schooner that would continue the mission of the first ship. With an insurance payment of just under $500,000, along with a state grant of $1 million, and various contributions from private citizens, students, corporations, and foundations of over $2.5 million, sufficient funds were available to build a new ship and endow an operating fund.
The fifth image in this series of images I took in and around downtown Toronto. The tall ship Empire Sandy, which runs chartered tours along Toronto's waterfront was originally built as an Englishman/ Larch Deep Sea-class tugboat for war service by the British government in 1943. After the war she served a number of different roles under different names. In the early 1970s she was to be sold for scrap, but fortunately got a new lease on life when she was bought by a new owner who had her completely rebuilt and converted as a three-masted schooner in the style of the 1880s.

While the now deceased owner of this vessel never realized much benefit from it, many others have over the years enjoyed watching the slow decay of the ship.
The QEW is a major highway connecting Toronto to Buffalo NY and is heavily traveled given the amount of cross border trade. Heading west on the QEW just past Grimsby, as you crest a hill the ship comes into sight and for a moment, it appears to almost intersect the highway. Pretty hard to miss ! The full history of the ship can be found in the link below.

TAKEN IN SEPETIBA PORT - ITAGUAI - BRASIL
It's been misty and raining all day today. This morning I was looking across the river at the gloom, wondering where the eastern shore might have disappeared to, and then I saw this. When I raced downstairs to grab a suitable camera/ lens combination I returned to see that it had vanished! Then it reappeared after being behind some foliage ... or it was a real ghost ship? It did seem odd anyway ...
