The moment you realize those old stunning, impossible looking oil paintings of sailing ships in storms were absolutely accurate.

๐ŸŽค Whisper Transcript (en) โฑ 57s

"this was a fleet of international ships that came to the shores of New Jersey to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. They gathered in Sandy Hook and this is a historical location because nearly 250 years ago it was right here at this location that George Washington's army drove the British from New Jersey. It was from this day that the last British ships of the Revolutionary War departed, so this is pretty incredible. The largest tall ships in the world and there are ships coming from all over the place. Italy, Germany, Spain and more allies all showing support for America's 250th birthday."
