IDX - Liberty Ship - JOHN W. BROWN 8-07.jpg
 

Caught the JWB on her return trip from Portland , Maine . These are follow up to the shots Mark posted last week .
There was a small crowd watching the ship pass . The daughter of one of the ship`s crew was telling me that the trip so far
had gone very well with no major problems in transit .

The JWB sails from her home port of Baltimore , Md. (USA) several times per year , out into the Chesapeake Bay .
You can get tickets , but they are not cheap . However , it is for a good cause . I believe this is one of the very few former WW II Liberty Ships still sailing .

Didn't know anything of that era was not just in mothballs, especially
sailing the waters.

It was a lucky catch . I was just getting home and heard on the marine radio that a ship
was about to be repiloted . But , I didn`t know what ship it was . So , I zipped over the bridge
and saw the grand old lady . I knew she was due to come back through from Maine ,
but not the exact time .

I liked those shots you posted very much .

Thanks
