More photos from the Colombian tall ship "Gloria"

 

The first photo shows the sailing vessel "Robert Seamans"  They are a research training vessel stationed in the Pacific Ocean, registered to Woods Hole MA.  Photo was taken  looking through the flags flying on the Gloria.

Climbing up.

The other two photos are of the Gloria.   The cadets all climbed up to their positions on the yards -- it was an amazing sight seeing all the cadets up like this.    They sang the Colombian national anthem, saluted the Maritime Museum and waved to all of us on the docks as they (literally) sailed off into the sunset.  It's hard to see, but the cadets were wearing the colors of our flag.  I was told that it was their custom to wear the colors of the country they were visiting.

If you look closely, you'll even see a cadet standing at the top of the mast.
