I spent the morning after the Maryland Sail 250 Festival adding some newly acquired enamel pins to this jacket. I was able to visit 13 ships from 11 countries, and got four new pins— Guayas of Ecuador, Unión of Peru, Gloria of Colombia, and Gorch Fock of Germany.

Has anyone else been collecting souvenirs at the tall ship festivals this summer? I’d love to see yours!

This ship looks like something out of a movie, more like a Pirates Ship, and it is absolutely stunning. I was lucky enough to take a tour on the ship and see the interior of this incredible master piece.
