San Francisco's "Opening Day On The Bay"

IRVING JOHNSON in San Francisco >>>
It was overcast and generally "less than idyllic" weather for the 2003 Opening Day on The Bay celebration. Brigantines.Com visitor Mark Wieber caught these shots of Irving Johnson a few days earlier as she was cruising the Bay with the Hawaiian Chieftain on April 24, 2003. The two outside photos show Irving with the Golden Gate in the background. The center photo includes a fireboat salute and tall ship Hawaiian Chieftain. Irving Johnson took part in public day sails, canon battles and other activities during her first visit to northern California.

Brigantines.Com visitor Mark Wieber was aboard his own boat, the Mirage, and sent these photographs of Irving as she sailed the Bay. (Click any photo for a larger image).
