Thank you for your comments. What I didn’t say, is the importance of the Fire Boat, in Boston and with the Halfmoon in New York, and the navel tradition behind that. The crew of the Halfmoon, in 1968, were honored by that tradition, being honored by returning from a WAR. Something to other veterans from the WAR in Vietnam weren’t. That single Fire Boat, in 1968 DID have a positive impact on the crew of the Halfmoon. How many Naval Vessels were so honored by our many WARS. So, yes, it was a personal journey.

Now to Identify any relatives who were in the War of 1812.

You know what it is to be aboard ship during wartime, with your Viet Nam service, cousin. Your pictures are beautiful, but in this case speak more than 10,000 words. You know what it was like to be far from home with little protection between you and the enemy. For you this 1812 “reliving” was also a personal journey. Thank you to our common ancestors who fought to preserve our nation, and to you cousin – in the cause if freedom.

It was a long drive, but totally worth it. I have been in Boston for the Tall Ships, but seeing them from “the water” was AWESOME.

I thought about trying to get into Boston to see the tall ships and some activities in HarborFest, but not sure that I will.
