As my sister was visiting from Alabama, Karin and I thought it would be a fine idea for us all to have lunch in South Haven then tour the visiting Columbus ship replicas.

Views from The Idler ↑ →
The Idler is a paddle wheel boat restaurant. Karin and I got there early, then ended up lunching alone as my sister's puppy was sick and she dare not leave it behind untended.

Maritime Museum ← ↑ →
We next walked across the drawbridge just a little ways upstream and visited the two ships ourselves. These were just next to the Maritime Museum, which we also enjoyed to tour.

Tall Ship ← ↑ →
Besides the visiting Columbus ship replicas, South Haven boasts its own resident replica tall ship, the Friends Good Will, a Great Lakes schooner. While abord the Pinta, that other came crusing up quite nearby. The replica ships were at this other's usual berth. From abord the Pinta, I caught these two photos as the tall ship got turned around with the help of a Zodiac.

Their Finest Hours ← ↑
Also at the Martime Museum is the Coast Guard life-saving boat used in the movie Their Finest Hours, with a vintage Chris Craft very nearby.
And here are photos taken by Karin on her Nikon CoolPix L32 camera.
