Tall Ships Galveston 2023

Seeing all the tall ships off of Galveston, one can imagine what the scene was like a hundred, two hundred years ago when those same tall ships plied their trade between the islands of the Caribbean, Mexico, and the U.S. Sometimes I feel I was born a couple hundred years too late. "... Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late. The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder, I'm an over-seventy victim of fate. Arriving too late, arriving too late ..."
