A few film transparancies self developed negatives from America's 200th Birthday from the Baltimore Inner Harbor Parade of the Tall Ships.
The masted vessel, #2, is about to sail under the exact place where a cargo ship crashed into the Outer Harbor bridghe and destroying it and killing some people working on the bridge.
The USS Torsk-#423 is in the right frame-Commissioned for the United States Navy on December 16, 1944, the USS Torsk was the only submarine out of its Tench Class fleet of ten to see service during World War II.

Neat to see, thanks for sharing.
Even nicer to have been there! The "parade" of the sailed ships was amazing! The Baltimore Inner harbor was just filled with them from all over the World.

Very cool post Dan! Love these from your archives! Steve
Thank you Steve!
The Operation Sail event was just wonderful to attend and photograph. Too bad my photography was so crappy! I posted these more as an "event showing" versus good photography.
I was using a Canon AE-1 and 50mm lens.
Thanks again!

That's what makes them all so neat Dan, the last one is great, wish you had the whole ship in the pix even tho you wanted the sub in it.

I have it Bill and many more from when the ships were docked. The sub was not planned to be in the shot.
Yes the last one was very pleasing to me...The old Baltimore Gas and Electric power plant was still working then(big stacks). It is now a Hard Rock Cafe.
I will get one posted for ya!

Today...
USS Constellation Has been docked at the Inner Harbor for 50 years.
