Boat watchers' dream

After watching all the Tall ships motor down the river near Morrisburg earlier this week, I saw them berthed at the Old Port over the weekend as I weaved through the crowds toward the Lachine Canal. Funny how this expression of old technology that is a sailing vessel attracts so much more interest than the modern ocean racer does pictured in the foreground.


To round out the flotilla, a cruise ship and a Navy frigate were also in the harbour; two very different updates on ship technology. I wonder which is the more expensive to run? And I wonder how many people realized that the orange line floating in the water is an oil boom?
