When I posted earlier about my nephew having his wife's commissioning aboard the ship, I meant to mention that I liked your photos better than the ones I took that day -- the ship looks much more impressive because the masts are fully assembled. They only put the top section of the masts on for special ceremonies or when the ship is going to sea. I guess the Captain ceremony doesn't qualify -- maybe if someone is getting their commission as an admiral! The shot of the Coast Gard ship is very nice also. Eric's (my nephew's) son graduated a couple of years ago from the Coast Guard Academy so is most likely familiar with that ship. I think they do a cruise with the cadets aboard it during their years at the academy. Needless to say, this is one nautical family!

Bridges, nice to hear from you again. I am pleased that you liked my photos. Your experience sound very interesting.
tkvaughn, I didn't know that about the Great Lakes.

It is worth note that not only is the Constitution a commissioned warship in the US Navy, it is the only currently commissioned warship to have fired upon and defeated an enemy vessel in battle.
I am greatly looking forward to getting to Boston to tour the Constitution once the Covid mess is settled.
Excellent photos.

Very good shots. Not a 'sailboat," though. She's a three-masted, heavy frigate of the United States Navy.

Beautiful photos of a very storied frigate, David. Love the on-deck shots. I visited some 40 yrs. ago, but it's been through major renovation since then.

As a native Bostonian I enjoyed these very much. My brother a 25 year lifer in the Air Force actually had his retirement ceremony on this ship. Very cool. They whistle you on board prior to the ceremony. Didn’t know they could choose where to hold their retirement ceremony.

srfmhg, thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it.
John, thanks for coming and the nice comment. I enjoyed that outing with my cousin, who lives in nearby Lancaster.
ceallachain, that must have been awesome. I'm glad that you enjoyed my photos. (My USAF retirement was on Ramstein AB, Germany, my last duty station.)
