I forget which day it was but I was sailing after work on Tuesday and Wednesday and I believe it was Wednesday when I saw the tall ship docked at Old Town.

L'hermione is here in Annapolis at the city dock now. I'll swing down for a picture later. Originally she was scheduled to be sailing in tomorrow, wonder if they are just trying to avoid some weather.
Captain Rob & Admiral Alyson "David Buoy"-1985 C25 SK/SR #5053
She's currently in Baltimore, and coming to Philly this week. I'm trying to figure out when they will be arriving so I can get out in the river and follow along for awhile. Looks to me like they'll have to go out into the ocean to get to the Delaware River because all the C&D canal bridges are too low.
Her air draft is 185'. According to NOAA, Delaware Memorial bridge is 188' at the very center.
Here the interesting one: Walt Whitman Bridge is only 150' at the center. Does their rig accommodate lowering the to section of the masts? It could be a real problem for them.
