Another part of the Bicentennial -- NYC -- July 4, 1976: "The Tall Ships"

Somehow we had not discovered the joy of using tripods for the old 8mm and Super 8 cameras...nonetheless, this film posted by Yartin Parkhani  shows some of the tall ships that traveled from across the world to take part in the Bicentennial parade on the Hudson River 39 years ago. 

16 ships took part, but there were many hundreds of smaller private boats on the river too. This film is shot from Manhattan looking towards New Jersey...I think.
