Earlier this month we posted about Philadelphia’s tall ship, the barquentine Gazela, returning to sea after suffering rudder damage several years ago. After participating in a Portuguese festival in New Bedford, MA the Gazela will be visiting PortSide New York,starting this Thursday August 19th to Monday the 23rd. She will be “bringing education by day and pirate cabaret at night.” There will be daytime tours of the historic barquentine and at night Philadelphia’s Cabaret Red Light’s troupe will be presenting nightly performances of Pirate Cabaret – “The Seven Deadly Seas: Waylaid & Hornswoggled.” The performaces promise “sword fights, dancing girls and plenty of vaudeville charm – definitely not your Disney pirates. Tickets may be purchased here. For photographs including dancing girls (oh my) check out Will’s post on the Tugster blog.
