Cool picture...looks very old fashioned...I would almost be convinced that it's an old photo if it weren't for the umbrellas :P

This is right up Woody's street. :)

Oddly enough, I had to do a double take - again the umbrellas did it for me too (not in that way... ::) ;) ;D)

Here's a pic that might explain about the ship:

A famous Hollywood ship is to dock in Liverpool to help raise funds for the fire-damaged Cutty Sark.
The 91ft-long tall ship The Black Pearl, of Pirates of the Caribbean fame, is a full-size replica of the original HMS Bounty.


Sadly couldn't get on board her due to there being around a 3hr wait in the queue.

"Mutiny, Mr. Christian..."

I always picture Bugs Bunny impersonating Charles Laughton when I hear the name Bounty...   :D
