Columbia and Dance Circle, August 1960
I like this nice detail of the figurehead on the mighty Columbia. If I was going to circumnavigate the globe, I would feel better knowing that she was leading the way! Here's something I can't figure out though... she appears to be going the wrong direction. I checked to see if the slide is flipped, but it wasn't. What's going on? Where am I? Who are you and what are you doing in my head?
I wonder if the Indian Chief who was the "master of ceremonies" at the Dance Circle invited all of the children in the audience to come down to the front when the performance started? They are all right there - and it makes things convenient when the kids were invited to jump up and participate in a flash mob!

Gee Major, I'm not certain what's going on in your head, either. Is it swollen-?? The figurehead on the Columbia seems to be ship-shape in all ways. Check her out again. It is a fabulous shot.
Thanks, Major.
The Sailing Ship Columbia is moving past Cascade Peak on her way back to the Frontierland dock. Super cool photo, thanks for posting it!
Yup, Cascade Peak, with the Mine Train tracks in the foreground. Clockwise around the river as usual. This was probably taken from another boat, Keel boat maybe, possibly a canoe.
...or possibly one of the subs.
In the Columbia image there's a small bit of foliage in the foreground (lower left). Could this pic have been taken from the shore of Tom Sawyer Island?
K. Martinez - I think that's a good call.+
What an Idea, to make a vintage sailing ship, and a river to put it in...
I love this place.
Thanks Major.
