The Pride of Baltimore Tall Ship returning to its home port

[@janetphillips2875]

It's like a Back to the Future episode. It is surreal with the old school schooner up against a manmade disaster

[@JamesTK]

When they left the bridge was still standing

[@chrisstart4714]

I saw that schooner at Algonac, Michigan it's a really cool boat .

[@marywright6759]

Thought it looked familiar. I saw it on the camera.

[@Paul_Wetor]

I was on the _S/V Denis Sullivan_ in 2019 as a passenger when we stopped at Algonac, with the brig _Niagara_ already there. We needed crucial supplies (toilet paper, paper towels). It was a fun stop.

[@velchuck]

Soooo sad. Things have changed since she left. I’m not sure if the port will ever be the same.😢. Welcome home Pride of Baltimore.

[@sebfettel]

It'll be better, think positive

[@jimw1615]

I see her homecoming as a triumphant victory and another signal of strength.

*"....The Surprise is not old; no one would call her old. She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine seabird: weatherly, stiff and fast... very fast, if she's well handled. No, she's not old; she's in her prime...."* ~Capt. Jack Aubrey~

[@jeffreydavis3404]

That is the Pride II, as the first one sank in the 1980's.

[@ladiedi0731]

That was lovely & a little bit sad, going home through the wreckage😥💔

[@williamscavone722]

So glad to see Pride II return home

[@WeazelJaguar]

Saw her here on lake ontario duringbthe War 1812 celebrations, nice to see again!

[@Paul_Wetor]

The view of the ship amidst the destruction seems to say, "What the hell happened?"

[@honda200twinstar3]

Kind of surreal with the somper music but did anyone notice the car that drove up the brigde thats still standing? i wouldnt think theres be any vehicals alowed up there.oh if you pauze at 8:00 there is a truck parked right at the end man thats gotta be unnevering to come to a stop there near the egde.

[@janetphillips2875]

There was a bucket truck up on the remaining bridge so the could test the structure. The span part most likely had the break away links where it come apart. I dont have the technical term for it.

[@honda200twinstar3]

@@janetphillips2875 hey Janet thanks for the info ,but whatever the reason its still gotta be unnerving driving up there knowing what up a head then stopping near the egde .gives me shivers lol

[@JamesTK]

@@honda200twinstar3there's a comms truck parked at the top of the South approach to aide in the cleanup effort, there's also a smaller installation on the northern approach

[@honda200twinstar3]

@@JamesTK hmm then that brings me to the question ..how is someone up there going to be of help in the clean up ..way up there .oh and thanks for the reply .

[@JamesTK]

⁠@@honda200twinstar3most likely a radio repeater for unified command so they can monitor progress. It's a pretty good vantage point to monitor work from as well

[@Djembe908]

How many containers can it carry?

[@terryakuna66]

Is it me or is the scooter just moving with the current? Which appears to be pretty fast.

[@starlasweda1350]

I know very little about sailing, is it moving with the help of a motor?

[@ren-uz2mz]

If no sails on the masts yes on the motor

[@Paul_Wetor]

With the sails down, yes. And anytime navigation is critical it definitely uses engine power.

[@karaDee2363]

Looks more like a schooner to me than it does a tall ship

[@PeterL-r6w]

It is large and it has masts and sails... it's a tall ship... Go peddle you petty criticisms somewhere else

[@nopriors]

So what channel did she use?

[@mderline4412]

The Southernmost channel.

[@JoeLinux2000]

Is it a Replica of the Schooner "America" ?

[@TKevinBlanc]

It's been recreated a couple of times (the first recreation sank in 1986 with a loss of several lives). It's a recreation of a class of boats called Baltimore clippers.

[@wannabetrucker7475]

gorgeous ship

[@johngulyas695]

She is a replica of the commerce raiders that preyed on British shipping during the War of 1812

[@michaelhoran407]

10 April, 2024 Re: Pride of Baltimore sailing ship Perhaps Baltimore could offer the sailing ship to Prince Rupert, B.C, Canada, deepest port in North America, rather than put her at risk in the wreckage filled waters of Baltimore. I wouldn’t let her suffer in Port of Baltimore.

[@mderline4412]

*We have been sailing these waters for more than a millennia. Man, sail, and horsepower* *Thanks for the offer, but a safe way has been made!....*

WHO F....... CARES

[@Ed-lz4jv]

Noone cares about you LOL

[@johngulyas695]

I do

[@karenbush3646]

We American’s care

[@janetphillips2875]

"Bounty Hunter"? Does it mean you stock paper towels at the grocery store?

[@TKevinBlanc]

I mean, Baltimore is a hard hit town that needs whatever points of pride it can muster. So it's not as important as the miraculously few lives lost, or the idled dock workers, but there's value to it.
