How’d you like to travel down the East Coast in that rig? Running British blockades, at least Revolutionary War ship captains didn’t have to deal with a Ski-Doo Sea-Doo.

Flickr-user Steve Urszenyi (ZaNiaC) snapped this shot of a tall ship making its way through Boston harbor in July 2007.

“We had just left the dock and noticed this beautiful tall ship off our starboard bow,” Urszenyi wrote in an email. “The light was catching it just right. There had been a Jet Ski buzzing around it for a minute or two, so I had to wait until it was gone to get this shot.”

An amateur photographer from Toronto, Urszenyi has compiled a set of his favorite Boston photos on his Flickr site.
