Rose Sailing -- Halifax to Boston

"HMS" Rose Halifax to Boston July 2000
Hello Rose Crew, Trainees and Friends Here are some pictures from our amazing trip. . I hope you enjoy them. The pictures are from Halifax - the last stop in the America's for the Tall Ships 2000 festival. Others are from Lunenburg and Boston. Lunenbug is where the HMS Rose was built, as well as Bluenose. Click on the small pictures for a bigger view As most of you know, Rose was sold for $1.5M in March of 2001. She was used in the production of the movie Master and Commander, a film based on the Patrick O'Brian novel of the same name. This movie was released Nov 14th, 2003. Fair winds and calm seas, Bob (Send email)
	Wet and Wild	As many of you may remember, I brought my GPS on board. I started logging our position as we left Lunenburg. Click on the map above for the coordinates, and times (in GMT). Also, if you're interested, the chart that I used was Canadian fisheries chart, LC 4003

	This is a lot easier on a sunny day with all hands. It's a real experience at night, in the rain, with two of the three watches below decks.
	Gun (and laundry) deck, Port side.
	Gun deck (and gunner), Starbord side. Three mops, no waiting.
	This isn't what the stateroom looked like in the travel brochure!
	The captain wouldn't allow the guns to be fired in front of the federal building in Boston Harbor. Where's the sense of adventure?
	Thar she blows! See the GPS log for the location of these whales.
	Here are just a few of our 300,000 Halifax friends
	The EDS party is just getting started. Later, as the sun sets and the band starts playing, there will be little room to manuever on deck. Don't miss the top-down view of a harbor furl.
	Hang on! It's my turn to take the wheel.

	The crew of the Rose was invited on a tour of the Lunenburg Foundry, where many of her parts were cast.
	The Lunenburg foundry woodshop. It's hard to believe that this is a working shop and not a museum.
	I think there may be a story or two that goes with the condition of this man's apron
