Guardians

 

Guardians of the past and future (!) at the now relocated Bray School of Colonial Williamsburg

Waterfront

 

Just a last couple of shots of the Yorktown waterfront showing the Coleman Bridge above and the statues representing an imagined conversation between Gen. George Washington, Adm. Francois Joseph Paul, the Marquis de Lafayette, and Comte de Grasse.

Bowsprit

 

Tied up very near to the Schooner Virginia was this much smaller sailboat. In contrast to the Virginia, I noticed the bowsprit.

Profiles

 

I finally took leave of the Schooner Virginia after these last two profile shots. Quite appropriately, I just finished reading David Grann's excellent new book entitled The Wager last night--fuels the imagination while also offering a stark reminder of what life aboard these ships was really like during the age of sail.
