My son and I traveled from Albany, NY area by Yankee Trails bus to enjoy the Fourth of July lobster luncheon buffet aboard the Spirit of Boston. We had a fine luncheon, including a whole lobster, then went out on deck to share the Independence Day activities in Boston Harbor. The USS Constitution, the world's oldest commissioned warship still afloat, was the centerpiece, traveling to Fort Independence on Castle Island, where she fired off a 21-gun salute, and received back an answering fusillade, setting off an appreciative roar of approval from the crowds assembled ashore and on the multitude of boats in the harbor. We much enjoyed the luncheon, and the cruise.
