EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Henny Ray Abrams, the majestic Eagle takes center stage as it leads a parade of tall ships during OP Sail 2000. This remarkable event is hailed as the largest peacetime maritime gathering ever witnessed, and the American white steel-hulled bark serves as the proud host vessel. The image showcases the grandeur of the 295-foot-long Eagle gracefully sailing past one of America's most iconic symbols, the Statue of Liberty. The magnificent ship effortlessly glides through New York harbor on an early morning in July 2000, leaving spectators in awe. The composition beautifully captures both power and elegance. The horizontal frame allows us to fully appreciate every detail - from the intricate rigging that adorns its masts to its pristine white sails billowing against a clear sky. As if paying homage to freedom itself, this breathtaking scene symbolizes America's rich maritime heritage and enduring spirit. Henny Ray Abrams' skillful lens work not only immortalizes this historic moment but also evokes a sense of wonder and admiration for these colossal vessels navigating their way along the river. It reminds us of our connection with nature and our shared love for adventure on open waters. This AFP print transports viewers into a world where time seems suspended; where tradition meets modernity, and dreams set sail towards new horizons.
