This weekend Baltimore is marking the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the writing of Star-Spangled Banner with a huge celebration. Tall Ships from around the world are docked at the Inner Harbor as the Blue Angels soar overhead. The bars and restaurants are overflowing with Naval Shipmen in their dress whites, a preppy girl dream. Here are a few of my photos from the event. Enjoy!
Gloria, the official flagship of the Columbia Navy, I saw this beauty dock on Thursday evening
USCG Barque Eagle, the sail training ship of the Coast Guard Academy
Cualuhtemoc, a beautiful tall ship from Acapulco, Mexico
Guayas, a tall ship from Ecuador that is used for training cadets from the Ecuadorian Naval Superior School. Exiting this ship, I accidentally stabbed a cute cadet with my fingernail. I felt terrible.
Last but not least, the Blue Angels
