    More photos from this morning’s procession of sailing ships in NYC. (I may also reshare these individually as future #SchiffSamstag photos!)

    A long three-masted ship with triangular sails, and with small multicolored flags strung between the masts, passes in front of the Statue of Liberty. This is the Ara Libertad from Argentina, and it flies a large blue-and-white Argentinian flag at its rear.
    A three-masted tall ship with rectangular and triangular sails crosses the waters of New York Harbor, passing in front of a row of container cranes on the far shore. The image is framed by wooden posts at left and right, closer to the pier from which I’m taking the picture.
    The Statue of Liberty is flanked by two sailing ships passing in front of it: to the left, a two-masted ship with rectangular and triangular sails (likely the American ship Pride of Baltimore II), and to the right, a smaller two-masted ship with triangular sails on the front mast and the sails on the back mast furled, which I can’t quite identify. In the foreground, a low pile of rocks pushes into the waters of the bay.
    The four-masted ship Esmeralda from Chile, with multiple rectangular and triangular sails, moves through the waters of New York Harbor under a cloudless sky. Floating some distance in front of it is a tiny green canoe, in which a shirtless person sits with their head wrapped in white cloth, observing the scene.
