Haven't updated here in a while. Our city just hosted OpSail2012. OpSail or Operation Sail is a tour of many tall ships and significant naval vessels that visited ports up and down the East Coast of the USA. New London, CT was the final port of call and ships restocked here for their voyage back to home ports.



I put this info up on Facebook to share with some friends. Yesterday truly was a remarkable day for watching ships of all sizes in our harbor. The submarine in the pictures is the USS Mississippi, the newest Virginia-Class nuclear sub in our fleet, just commissioned in June 2012.

Today, the ships of OpSail get ready to depart. Business as usual returns to the Thames River. We spent the day at Fort Trumbull watching the ships. We saw the USCG Eagle, Cisne Branco of Brazil, USS Carter Hall, Brilliant, Appledore, New Horizon, Cross Sound Ferries, Block Island ferry, Thames River tugs, USCG fast interceptor boats, the Harbormaster, fishing vessels, USCG rescue helicopter, pleasure craft both motor and sail, a pile-driving barge, and a Virginia Class US Navy Submarine! Watch the whole gallery from today as a slideshow here:
