Every year during the first week of September Dana Point Ca. has a 'Tall Ship' regatta. This year a ' of 9 ships took part in the festivities, sailing around with guests aboard shooting cannons at each other.
The two ships in the photograph are the 'Spirit of Dana Point' on left and a replica of the 'Pilgrim' from Richard Henry Dana's 'Two years before the mast'. Both boats are berthed full time in Dana Point.
