Convergence 5

Entering the KVK from the east . . . it’s the tallest tall ship sailing the sixth boro.

At about the same moment, entering the KVK from its west gate, aka the Bayonne Bridge, it’s Rebel, followed by Nicole Leigh Reinauer.

Clipper City, launched in Florida in 1984, is a replica of a wooden schooner that operated on the Great Lakes during the second half of the 19th century.

The schooner is only 20′ longer than Rebel.

Clipper City is headed for a haul-out.

Later I catch the stern of Rebel westbound back to the yard.  I believe the near-twin of Rebel in the distance is Yankee.
