Tall Ships come to Charleston, South Carolina
These are some picture that I took durring the Maritime festival in downtown Charleston. This was my first time seeing these majestic beauties of the sea and I have to say, it is certainly a sight to see! I only wish that I could have been there when they set sail, I'll bet that would have made some great pictures. Here is a link to the column done about the tall ships by our local newspaper: http://web.charleston.net/news/2007/may/17/cover/

Hoards of people waited in line to tour the ships on deck, my wife and I decided that we could see the ships just fine from the shore!
