Volvo Ocean Race Comes to Baltimore
The first of several impressive sailing ships arrived in Baltimore yesterday, celebrating the Volvo Ocean Race. This beauty is the Cisne Branco (White Swan), a ship of the Brazil Navy. At 253 feet (76 m) long and 154 feet (46.4 m) and fully rigged with 31 sails, it looks like something built in the 1800's. Actually, although it was inspired by the design of late-19th Century clipper ships, it was built just six years ago in Amsterdam.
Another photo from my Canon A620, which I make sure is in my backpack as I leave for work every morning.

Nice composition, and interesting comparison of old style ship vs. a modern building. One year, during Fleet Week in S.F, an international contingent of tall ships came to visit. This one may have been in port that day too.
