Reader Gail captured this beauty. Thanks for the photo! She writes:
My husband and I were on our bike ride through Discovery Park and home down Magnolia Boulevard when we saw this ship raising it’s flags. No idea who is the owner/captain, but a beautiful ship!
It is the Mexican Navy (training) – see Seattle PI

I saw it sailing by Ray’s boathouse around 3 on Wednesday the 27th. It was parked off the bluff Thursday morning, Aug 28th. Pretty cool sight.
Yes, it was Thursday morning that we saw it… the photo got posted a day late. We saw people working all over it, they looked like ants! Thanks for the clarification, we recognized the Mexican flag, but didn’t know the rest.
