Ready the canons! Arrrrrrrr 😉
Arrrrrr. Fire away 🔥
That’s awesome!
Thank you, Rob.
The sailors sure keep the space nice and clean!
Definitely!
Oh Sweet Man would love to see this ship and these cannons! He collects small figurines of cannons.
Could you imagine when these all let out their “boom!” 💥 Wow!
Come visit when quarantine is over and the ship is open. They do fire one of the guns twice a day for morning and evening colors. I’ve been there and it’s pretty cool to see….and hear.
Oh how fun! We would love to see that!
So, you need to time it well. If you ever come this way, I can tell you when and where to go to see morning and evening colors.
So let’s get this World back into shape! As this would be a lovely trip to take from Pennsylvania in the summer… one day, someday!
What a historical marvel!
It certainly is!
I am so overwhelmed by big, tall ships. I think of the minds the would build on such hugeness that would take to the seas. Although, I’m not thrilled about warring. Great share Milfordstreet!
I’m reading a history of the ship and when you read what they did with these, it’s amazing.
The advanced tech ships of today do not amaze me as much as those European ships built between 1300-1700! What an era!
Enjoy the read! Cheers!
Fascinating! 😀
Thank you.
