Green Bay Tall Ships Festival, Parade of Sail

August 13th, 2010

On Thursday, August 12, 2010 my wife Lynne and I were up in Sturgeon Bay, WI for the Green Bay Tall Ship Festival, Parade of Sail. The ships sailed through the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal into Sturgeon Bay and then made their way south down Green Bay to the city. We found a great park on the north-east side of Sturgeon Bay to watch and photograph the 12 tall ships as they sailed through.

Though I have seen and photographed a number of tall ships in the past, this was my first time seeing them with their sails up. It was a very cool experience to witness the beauty of these magnificent ships up close like this. I also had a good time talking to the nice folks who were around us. All in all it was a great way to spend a morning.

Here’s a slide show of my best images from the day. To view the photos full screen, click the icon in the bottom right corner. To view the image captions, move your mouse pointer over the image.
