Tall Ships

It was thrilling to watch Bluenose II and Hermione enter Lunenburg Harbour this morning, accompanied by a Canadian warship and Canadian Coast Guard cutter. This evening we walked along the waterfront and observed the majesty of both ships. Bluenose II is the reconstructed fishing schooner that tomorrow begins taking passengers for cruises; an image of the original Bluenose graces every Canadian dime. Hermione is a beautiful frigate; tied up outside the Fisheries Museum she dominated the waterfront this evening. Such a thrill to think that Lafayette returned to the American colonies in the original in 1780.
