Almost Tall Ships – 7/3/26

 

New York City went all out celebrating the nation’s 250^th.

Multiple museums displayed copies of the Declaration of Independence.

Double fireworks – covered both the Hudson and East rivers.

And there were two ship parades.

These photos are from July 3^rd.

Sort of an appetizer for the big event on the 4^th.

While those tall ships headed north up the Hudson,

these traveled south on the East River.

Which made it very convenient for me to go over and check them out.

And while they weren’t as dramatic as their taller counterparts, they still put on a pretty good show.

Here are some blogs from Green-Wood Cemetery…
