Out of the fog she comes. The Topsail Schooner Pride Of Baltimore II sailing in tandem with the Schooner Bluenose II in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.

And a star to steer her by

Just over a week until I get on Virginia and my tumbling basically stops.

Liberty Clipper, sailing in the Bahamas. Every winter, from December through May, she’s down in the Bahamas doing week-long Windjammer cruises. Every summer, she’s in Boston, daysailing. This is the Bahamas set-up, and it looks like the new sailing dinghy, too. I kinda miss this boat.

Oh, hey, Lynx in Chicago. I wonder if this was the summer that we sailed down the Navy Pier fairway at the end of every sail, made our turn a couple hundred feet off Pride and fired a gun at them. Four daysails a day, four or five days. Pride crew wasn’t happy with us.

” US Navy Schooner LYNX — Lost at Sea, 1820 “
On 11 January 1820, the schooner Lynx, commanded by Lieutenant J. R. Madison, departed St. Mary’s, Georgia bound for Kingston, Jamaica to continue her service suppressing pirates. She was never heard from again. Despite the schooner, USS Nonsuch’s, search for Lynx, no trace of her or her 50 man crew was ever found.
Confusingly enough, this is not the privateer Lynx that the current Lynx claims to be a representation of. That ship was launched in 1812 and captured in 1813, renamed the Mosquidobit, and sunk somewhere in the Med, whereas this ship was launched in 1814. This picture gives a good idea of the rig of a Baltimore Clipper, with running forestays on the main, loose-footed overlapping foresail, and multiple kites on the foremast.
Fun fact for the day.
More old digital pictures. Very low res. Doesnt do the beautiful Thomas E. Lannon justice. Id love to go back with the cameras and know how I have now
I’ll almost always reblog a schooner.
