Thursday, 11 July, a Parade of Sail of about ten tall ships came through the breakwall outside the mouth of the Cuyahoga. Ships are visiting for festivals along the Great Lakes. The final ship to come in was the most famous, Oliver Hazard Perry's recreated Niagara. He began the Battle of Lake Erie on the Lawrence, it was so badly hit, he transferred to the Niagara.
Outside the breakwall the ships had been staging, and waiting. The last time in Cleveland was in 2013 [click], they come every three years to the Great Lakes. Three years ago, the Republicans had their bacchanal in Cleveland, and the ships went to Fairport Harbor.
Cassius looks through binoculars to see the ships.
Scaffold is neat, there is scaffold going up around the Garfield Monument, which is being cleaned. A drone was used to count the number of trees growing on the monument (16). For a couple of weeks Lake View Cemetery will have the monument closed, while work is done above the entrance. After that, the work will continue with visitor access inside.
