The Captain of all he sees.




The Cleveland Lighthouse provides a great backdrop for the tall ships.


"Skippy" the smallest mascot in the minor leagues was in the crowd visiting from the Lake County Captains baseball team.

Casting a line to shore crew. The Roseway comes back from a 1 1/2 hour cruise out on Lake Erie. Lucky Dogs......

It was a beautiful day. Low humidity, 85 degrees and blue skies. The Goodyear plimp from Akron was on-hand most of the day flying overhead.

Eastern Air Transport, a Ford TriMotor aircraft was flying from Burke Lakefront airport on 15 minute sight seeing trips.





Plenty of security was on hand with the United States Coast Guard and the Rocky River Police departments.


Casting off and heading out on another short cruise. This stern shot shows how wide the beam is on this twin masted sloop.

2010 Cleveland Ohio Tall Ships Festival

Tall Ships Festival in Cleveland, Ohio 2010. I had the previledge to attend the July 10th Tall Ships Festival at the Port of Cleveland. Many thanks to
 Media Magic Productions, Jefferson, Ohio and the Ashtabula News Network for their assitance.


The tall ships only visit Cleveland every four years. This year they are visiting 7 locations along with Cleveland. The fleet had just arrived from Toronto, Canada and would be sailing off to Bay City, Michigan. The tall ships are a thing of beauty and grace. Only a few luck people get to work these tall ships. According to a Coast Guard spokesman, each ship is required to have at least 10 crew members.



I took over 1,00o photographs at this special event. You can see them at my Fotki.com website.
