Tallships!

Tall Ship Day in Charleston


Last weekend the Tall Ships sailed into our Charleston Harbor. The church bells were pealing loud as the ships sailed in. One lady said "it was like royalty" was arriving!












They just scurried up and down those ropes like they were nothing!




A closer look at the beautiful art:


Oh my, what have we here!?
Yep, sure looks like pirates to me! (didn't I just do a post about pirates!?)
A close up of the fancy shoes!



Lots of people from all over came out to enjoy the hot windy day




Guess we better keep an eye out for more pirates! There's another one over there!



A kitty?

 As I watched, she got up, walked like she knew EXACTLY WHERE she was going, and boarded the ship!
There she goes!
And she went right through this door and we didn't see her again! Either she is the ship's cat OR she is in for the ride of her life!


There were fun pirate camps for the kids, music, food, and lots of things to see and buy.





I loved this mermaid!! she was HEAVY!!



He surely DOES LOOK AUTHENTIC doesn't he!?

We enjoyed seeing all the Tall ships sights. If you'd like to learn more about the Tall Ships and what they do and where they go click here:
