This weekend is Maritime Weekend at Yorktown at which a variety of ships were featured. This is the Lynx; a representation of a War of 1812 Baltimore Clipper. She has a sparred length of 122 feet and the mast
(the top photo) is 94 feet. It is fast, maneuverable and well-armed. It was a great ship to run blockades or privateer in..

What a wonderful excursion you've shared with us all. I love every bit. Especially a few posts below [as I play catch-up]....the statue of Pochantas. Fabulous.
Beautiful photos of an old boat in a wonderful place.
That first shot is riveting. 94 feet is a long way up---or down, depending on your situation. It never occurred to me there would be an anniversary celebration of the war of 1812. Good to know.
Excellent shots of this ship! Looks like a great day for sailing.
Going up! Neat mast shot.
What a beautiful ship. Enjoying your shots :)
Thanks for dropping by...
I love seeing these old ships. Spectacular mast shot!
What a beautiful old ship! Great shots.
What a beautiful ship! It's nice to see that people can still build them in the old styles. Nice photos!
What a marvelous sight Darryl and Ruth, one of my most favorite things to see when they are all rigged up and flying through the water.
