Star of India's 150th birthday sail

The San Diego Maritime Museum is celebrating the 150th birthday of the tall ship  "Star of India"   She was built in the Isle of Man in 1863, and launched five days before Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
I was on the tall ship "The Californian" today as we sailed with her.  It was actually more of a drifting day due to low winds.   No matter what the winds, it was such a treat to see her out on the water with all sails up.   Here are two photos, one at the beginning of the day, the second as she was being escorted back to the docks by a tug.
