Tall ships... small ships?

We went down to the marina where the Lady Washington was in for the week (here's some video from the Herald). It's a big boat, 67 feet on the deck, but it doesn't really seem that big when you are on it. It's the same ship that was one of the British ships in Pirates of the Caribbean (which the current crew members are constantly asked about, and they have various wise guy responses to deal with the question).
Seeing the boat in pictures, on the movie screen, and in my imagination I could envision hundreds of crew members and a huge deck. Once you get on it the size of the masts and riggings are still impressive, but the boat doesn't really feel all that huge. One of the current crew said that when the original Lady Washington was in use they probably only had a crew of 8! That seems a bit slim for keeping up with all the tasks, but I can see why they would have so few if they were trying to move cargo and have enough room for supplies... you can't have extra people.
Anyhow, here are some pictures. It was pretty fun, and a beautiful day. And Theo played with some flowers.
