This morning the tell-tale helicopter was in the air again, hovering just over the marina.
I climbed out on deck right away to find the cause of the commotion and saw Schooners. Lots n' lots of schooners.
In just over an hour I saw just a fraction, at least fifteen or twenty double- and triple-masted schooners, leaving the Inner Harbor enroute to a 2-day racing weekend in Annapolis.

Below is the 154-ft schooner Shenandoah, a cruise ship out of Vineyard Haven Harbor, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The Shenandoah is the only vessel of her size and rig, without an engine, operating within the United States of America. (photo from their web site)
Bonus Bluebook Points for identifying this classic schooner, pictured below:
Others went out on the sea in ships;
they were merchants on the mighty waters.

They saw the works of the LORD,
his wonderful deeds in the deep.
