Pictures : Aquatic Park-Sept-2002

Up


I went over to the Hyde Street Pier for a concert by the Johnson Girls out of South Street Sea Port in NYC. They sing a variety of shanties and sea songs. They were very good, but I've heard better. One (of five) was missing (she'd just had a baby) and two of them weren't all that enthusiastic.

On the way over, I tried to take some pictures of Aquatic Park. It was right around dusk, so most of these are took dark. The best wide shot of the Balclutha was taken with a 1sec exposure. It's a shame the funnel of the steam tug pokes up in front of the foremast.
