New Swallow, Independence Seaport Museum Festival.

The Independence Seaport Museum, Philidelphia, had an Exhibit, "Tattoos in the Life of the American Sailor". Based on a photo of sailors of the period the decided to have a Tattoo Festival on the Mighty Warship "Olympia", Built 1892. Flagship of Adm Dewey's Fleet at Manila, the Philipines, 1898. They had 40 Tattoo Artists that specialized in "Old School Sailor" Tattoo aboard to work on those attending. I could not pass up this opportunity and got one more Swallow to represent another 5,000 miles at sea. It was done by Sean of Saint Louis and a fine job he did!
