The U.S. Coast Guard tall ship the Baroque Eagle. Or at least as near as I can tell that's the name of this fine vessel. I sort of, kind of forgot to check carefully for the name of the ship when I was taking the shot. Seem to recall seeing a sign hidden on the other side of it mostly blocked by tourists waiting to go aboard for a visit. How hard would it be to hang a shingle out on the bow, or maybe even paint the name on it. Government cutbacks I guess are deeper than previously thought.

Shot on the Halifax harbour waterfront from pretty much the only angle available for a full ship view with the lens I was using. The winds were high and the harbour choppy that day. I wisely chose to stay on dry land as my inner tube had sprung a leak earlier and my water wings were in the pawn shop. Otherwise I might have been tempted to board her.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.
