What: Tall Ships
Where: Lakeside Park, Port Dalhousie, near the carousel
When: Sun. June 30, 8:30am
Bring:. Camera
Cost:. Perhaps $5 or $10 for deck tours (optional)
Additional Info:

My plan is to shoot the tall ships in Port Dalhousie in the morning, and Hamilton in the afternoon. I hope to avoid the crowds in Port Dalhousie by meeting before the opening ceremonies and the start of the deck tours. The carousel is an easy landmark to find.

The tickets for Port Dalhousie to go on the ships are $5.00, where there are 3 ships. In Hamilton, it is $10.00 for 5 ships. I would anticipate being ready to leave Port Dalhousie around 11:00, and heading to Hamilton. Perhaps we could have lunch at Williams Coffee Pub in Hamilton, to allow a 2nd meeting time for those who just want to go to Hamilton.

I think I got some in Port Dalhousie, from the other side of the canal. However, I haven't gone through them on the computer. It turned out you had to pay the $5.00 to get close to the ships, not just for the deck tours - they were in front of the Legion, and there was a 6 foot fence surrounding them on that side. Once you got in, it was very crowded, so difficult to get any shots. In Hamilton, I went around in circles trying to find somewhere to park, and gave up. I did find out that some of them had been anchored in Jordan Harbour during the week - probably the ones going to Port Dalhousie. I wish I had known that, because Jordan is so close to my Father's, that he would have like to go down to see them there.

I got sidetracked, and shot other things as well.
