Violet View

Schooner America 2.0 - Key West Harbor - overcast
Key West, Florida - The Florida Keys - Dec. 4th, 2020
SUNSET - off the Key West coast - 88 miles from Cuba

*[left-double-click for a closer-look - purple/violet sky]

*[pretty disappointing; Friday night out on the harbor for a sunset
sail and 'this' was 'the most light' we saw. They're not always great]

*[I'm doing a Key West Harbor Boat Series 2020.....so bear
with me for a little bit. There were lots of really awesome boats,
ships and beautiful sailing vessels this year! Thanks for looking]

*[those are 2 small un-inhabited islands 5 miles south of Key West]

History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.

America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California

The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come
