7/21/2003: Japanese cadets salute

This makes for an interesting photograph. It's approximately 99 cadets, standing on the rigging of the tall ship Nippon Maru II, as she sails under the Golden Gate bridge. The ship was in town to celebrate 150 years of US - Japanese relations. Which seems an odd thing to celebrate, considering that some of that time was spent in the fiercest war known to man so far. Instead, celebrate the fact that we've both gotten over it and become pals.
