ssb Posted January 27, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2012 front of Olympia grill and Willie g's or fishermans wharf restaurants or top tremont hotel at outdoor bar and at east beach at end of Seawall blvd another unique thought. Take tour of ELISA tall ship schooner and watch departures from it. Truly the historic maritime vs new tourist cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
