This year is the 99th annual Rose Festival in Portland Oregon. The theme is Pirate Rendezvous. These two ships came to join us in addition to the normal Navy, Coast Guard, Army Corp of Engineers, and Canadian Naval vessels that show up this time of the year. The one on the left, the Lady Washington was in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie and is a wooden replica of the real Lady Washington. The other one, the Hawaiian Chieftain is a steel hulled replica of a typical cargo ship around Hawaii.

Thanks! Ironically 100 years ago or less there would have been a dozen or more simliar ships docked on both sides of this river.

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Heh... unluckily this stretch of the river connecting the east and west side of Portand together has 6 bridges across it. Getting a picture of anything on the river without one is near impossible. :)

But it goes to show you what progress has gotten us.

I live very near the river and took some pictures of those same two ships that day. Wow - but those cannons were loud! Great photo - and thanks for posting.
