My question is..
Would anyone want to take this person anywhere?

Grandad's home where I stayed in the summer of 1964.

The Russian sailing ship Pallada is at Alaska’s Sitka port between July 28-30 during an international trans-Pacific expedition.

Pallada is the fifth ship of the Dar Mlodziezy-class built in Poland during the 1980’s. Unlike her white- hulled sisters, Pallada has a black hull with false gunports and resembles the great Russian Barque Kruzenshtern. She is named for the Greek goddess Pallas Athena. She is owned by Dalryba, a conglomerate of fishing companies, and offers sail training to foreign marine-college cadets. Pallada sails with a compliment of 143 cadets and a permanent crew of 56 officers, teachers, and professionals.

Kids are the same everywhere.

Visitors are able to inspect the ship, to watch the documentary “The Second Discovery of Alaska” and see an exhibition dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Yury Gagarin’s space flight and the 270th anniversary of discovering Russian America.
