This morning I pulled myself up and staggered up the strange ladder onto the deck. It was broad daylight and I wasn't dreaming. I sat down against the bulkhead in gape-jawed astonishment. The deck was rough planks. Above my head fluttered a hundred acres of canvas.
The ship had three masts and square sails¸ and no smoke stack. I pulled myself to the gunwale and clung to the rigging. I was standing between two antique naval cannons on four-wheeled wooden carriages.
I lurched across the deck where this tall blonde woman in tight blue jeans was manning the ship's wheel. I had to ask¸ "What ship is this?" She just grunted and tossed a thumb in the direction of the ship's bell. I read "USS Constitution 1987. "I squinted at her in the bright tropical sun and asked¸ "Admiral Farragut¸ I presume?"
