Three years ago we took our grandsons to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for sight seeing. I took this picture of the sky looking up through the rigging of the USS Constellation. (Captain Michael was at the helm.) The sailing ship launched in 1854, became a National Historic Landmark in 1955.
I absolutely love tall ships, one day I'll get to take a canon of a different kind of board. Nice shots, thanks for stopping by Photonic Harmony, all the best, Andy.
I joined the Header Challenge team in November. We post a new header each week on a suggested theme. Imac is the founder and head of the team. The members vote for best header and the winner gets the gold. The links above will take you to the other participants.

Hi Lew. Lucky boys to have you. That's a day they will always remember!
What a great ship.

That is a beautiful sky seen through the rigging! What a wonderful day for the boys.

Seeing the skies how they were seen so many years ago - through the rigging of a tall ship.
Beautiful image!
Very, very beautiful. I admire those who can sail a boat. Looks very complicated!
nice photos.
Very cool ship and a nice entry for SWF. Have a great weekend.
Cheers
That was a picture for me - Nice to know they take good care of it.
This is another nice photo of a tall ship that reaches to the sky. Nice shot, Lew.
My Sky Watch photo is at Canon Pixels
Love the shot through the rigging. Nice creative skywatch.
Nice pictures through the ship. What a fun time that must have been.
We may be kindred souls, I had a mast in one of my Skywatch photos, too. I really like yours.
