As the oceanographic ship Sally Ride, still being outfitted, sits next door, the audience on Pier One watches the Workboat Races.
Workboats, including the Veteran, passed in review for the crowd.
The fun wasn't all on the water... it included a chowder eating contest, but this looks more like they're drinking it... cheating...huh? Thanks to Steve Berentson for this photo.
Yes, the Workboat Races even had an aerial salute.
Emcees were Brian Geer and the port's executive director Bob Hyde.
