A Row with Lady Washington by AH64D

A Row with Lady Washington by

The original Lady Washington was built in the 1750’s in Massachusetts. This is a full scale replica of the brigantine and was launched in 1989. You may have seen her in Pirates of the Carribean as HMS Interceptor.
Whilst she has sailed Transatlantic, she is seen here, from the Municipal Pier, on a millpond like San Francisco Bay.

About AH64D

My pictures are taken with a Sony DSC-HX1. What you see is pretty much what comes from the memory card, with maybe a touch of rotation and or cropping.
I probably wouldn’t be taking so many pictures if it weren’t for the camera. It has been worth every penny as it has captured some great memories since I got it in 2009.
Feel free to comment on any of the pictures. I’m all for learning how to improve.

    doesn’t know which is better: the beautiful images you display here, or the fantastic informative descriptions. great image Barrie!!

  • Whilst many pictures may speak for themslves, I sometimes think it’s best to say a few words about the subject too. I think I got the idea from a chap who was waiting to see LHD-8 in San Francisco in 2010, there are anecdotal descriptions on his pictures too. Anecdotes with pictures are cool :)
