Here's Rich by the Falls of Clyde. It's an awesome ship and I wish we had the
time to go on board, but as usual we did not. We were on our way to the Aloha
Tower and then to the xbxrx show at Club 478. The water in this harbor is simply
gorgeous with tropical fish swimming in the water just below where Rich is standing.
It is crystal clear water with beautiful colorful fish gracefully eating on the rocks.
We talked about how ugly and dirty our harbor/bay water is in Mobile as compared
to this paradise! The water along the coast in O'ahu is ALL beautiful.

Located on Pier 7 of the Honolulu Harbor is the Falls of Clyde, the only surviving
fully-rigged four masted sailing ship still in the world. It was built in 1878 in Port Glasgow,
Scotland and she has sailed all over the Pacific. She was the first four masted ship to fly the
Hawaiian flag in 1899. In 1973 the vessel was registered with the National Register of Historic
Places. It is opened from 8:30 to 5:00 daily and the Maritime Center (which the vessel is part of)
costs $7.50/adult and $4.50/child (between 6-17). Children under 6 are free.
