Tall Ships

Every so often, large, traditionally-rigged sailing vessels known as tall ships make their way into Boston Harbor.  This year, in honor of the bicentennial of the War of 1812, ships from around the country and the world spent a few days in the harbor.  Earlier this week, we took a cruise on the Samuel Clemens to view the ships from the water.
