Russia comes to Philadelphia


	Russia comes to Philadelphia ---- This photo was made on the deck of the Moshulu, an historic Clipper Ship now moored permanently on the Philadelphia Delaware River waterfront, as a floating restaurant. --- Members of the upcoming Russian production of the musical, "Chicago" were visiting the city, and were being hosted for a luncheon aboard the ship. --- We are seeing one of the stars of the production being photographed by the one of the production's still photographers. Seen in the background (far left) is the U.S. Customs House. The Ben Franklin Bridge is also shown. ------ Michelle Alton

Terrific photo and interesting info. There is a parkway in the Bronx near where I grew up called Moshulu Parkway; I wonder if there is a connection...(I think the parkway is spelled Mosholu though).

Agnes. The ship's history is fascinating. Here's a link to its Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshulu

The ship sailed all over the world and spent lots of time in New York so it's not surprising that there is a parkway named after it.

Always enjoy the artist taking a picture of the artist at work. The thrill here is that you have the talent to take advantage of the opportunity and bring us such gorgeous journalistic work that is a joy to see in your gallery. One can look at this picture and see that it is done my a master. Love it my friend.

Another one of your terrific story-telling captures, Michelle! This looks like a very interesting ship and with its history would appear to fit perfectly in Philadelphia.

Going to Russia next May 2014. The reason I bought the small SX 50 HS camera.
