Classic and Wooden Boat Festival - Sydney 2016

This weekend, the Classic and Wooden Boat Festival is being held in Sydney,
Australia, at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Pyrmont,
and I went along yesterday (Fri 15 April 2016) to have a look.

There were 100 boats on display, from the smallest row boat to the tallest ship.

Also, on offer, were various items of entertainment, and displays open
in the museum.

Here is a window into that world  -

The Australian National
Maritime Museum,
and the Cape Bowling Green
Lighthouse (1874).

Tall Ship HMB Endeavour,
which is a replica of
Captain James Cook's vessel.

Ship's cannons.

Museum employees
singing sea shanties (songs).

Tall Ship James Craig,
a fully restored 1874 Barque.

The Carpentaria.














Submarine HMAS Onslow.

This is me,
having entered a competition
for a free trip on a tall ship.
