ARC GLoria

We've had a new tall ship near the Maritime Museum --  The "Gloria" from Cartagena, Colombia (SA) has been here for 5 days, welcoming visitors onboard.  Quite an impressive sight on the waterfront.   If you'd like more info, follow the link Gloria.

 Photos were taken tonight as it left San Diego, next stop Panama, then home.  Some of the cadets have been on board for 9 months, and are ready to be home.

What you are seeing up in the rigging are the cadets.  And atop each mast, another cadet.   It was very impressive as they sailed away, singing their national anthem, music playing.  They were waving & saluting the Maritime Museum and the many people on the docks who came to see them off.
