Are We ShipShape Yet, Oh My Pilgrim?

            Brig "Pilgrim"
Dana Point, CA
09-10-2016

This is a composite commemoration for the tall ship replica, Pilgrim, which has been anchored in Dana Point harbor since 1981, The replica ship, converted to the brig Pilgrim from a three masted schooner replica originally built in 1945, took on water a few weeks ago, and sank in place.

So far, efforts to right her have failed. The ship is a staple of the Dana Point harbor. The original Pilgrim, which sank in 1856, was the ship Richard Henry Dana, for whom Dana Point is named, wrote about in the classic account of a sea voyage between Massachusetts and California in the book "Two Years Before the Mast".

That book originally stoked my own love of the sea and tall ships, and hopefully someday I will be able to sail on one, if only on a cruise.

This photo is a composite. I spent a couple of hours this morning painting in the sky, which is from a photo I took in San Pedro in March of 2017. I tried to add a layer of reflected clouds in the water, but with so much reflected, I had to slide opacity down pretty low. and by the time I'd erased the reflected clouds layer from all the reflections of the dock posts and boats, not too many 'reflected" clouds can even be seen.

The photo of the ship is noteworthy because it was taken only an hour or so before I was standing on the breakwater when the errant wave snuck up behind, me splashing my Rebel t5i and my Panasonic videocamera, ruining both of them.

The Pilgrim replica has a long history in Dana Point, and was used by the school system for many field trips. It also was used as a training vessel for potential sailors, as are the Exy and Irving Johnson, docked near where I live in the L.A. Harbor.
