Fleet Week Magnets
Description: United States Coast Guard Cutter Pike out on the waters of San Francisco Bay. In the Back Ground a Pave Hawk HH-60 of the USAF in the middle of a recovery demonstration. The Pave Hawk is some way behind Pike and so the winch cable you see is not actually dropping to the cutter's deck. Sony DSC-HX1 !http://ih1.redbubble.net/work.9522539.1.flat,550x550,070,f.jpg!
Description: This United Airlines Boeing 747 flying across the Bay, is one of the highlights of the Airshow during San Francisco's annual Fleet Week celebrations. Difficult to tell here, but the Jumbo is in front of the Golden Gate Bridge at this point and is actually dwarfed by it.

Description: This is a full scale replica of the brigantine 'Lady Washington' that was launched in 1989, over 230 years after her original namesake. You may have seen her in such films as Pirates of the Carribean as HMS Interceptor. You could be mistaken for thinking she is sailing on a millpond, but this is actually San Francisco Bay during Fleet Week.

Description: The original Lady Washington was built in the 1750's in Massachusetts. This is a full scale replica of the brigantine and was launched in 1989. You may have seen her in Pirates of the Carribean as HMS Interceptor. Whilst she has sailed Transatlantic, she is seen here, from the Municipal Pier, on a millpond like San Francisco Bay, California.
