This is the Pilgrim , a replica ship . The real Pilgrim was made famous in the book 2 Years Before The Mast , by Richard Henry Dana Jr .
I took this shot a few yrs. back at Catalina Island Ca .
I've been aboard one of the replicas from Columbus' fleet while it was in Corpus Christi at the maritime museum there. I was surprised that they were so small. It gave me a new respect for the nerve of the seamen who took off for parts unknown back when everyone (nearly) thought the earth was flat. Lots of respect.
Funny , how ? I mean funny like a clown , does it amuse you ? Hahaha , remember Goodfellas . TOOLMASTER now that is funny , sounds like a 70s' porn star .
