A Nice Catch

Falls of Clyde

"Shake Hands with the Man on the Moon" (Season 7). Hawaii Five-0, Leonard Freeman Productions / CBS Television, 1977.

I've been watching some Season 12 episodes. I know it wasn't the most popular season, but it was still good. Tonight, I was watching "A Lion in the Streets." at 1:09:06 on the counter, McGarrett meets Carew aboard the Falls of Clyde. In the background was none other than Cape Corwin. We can't see much of her, but her hull number is distinct: 95326.

I wish they had shown more of the Falls of Clyde. She had undergone a complete restoration a few years earlier and was looking splendid! We saw more of her in "Shake Hands with the Man on the Moon" (Season 7) and "Small Potatoes" (Season 11).

Currently, negotiations with the State of Hawaii are still ongoing as Falls of Clyde International seeks to buy her and take her aboard a float-on/float-off ship for restoration and use as a museum and educational tool. Sadly, the grand old tall ship is failing as the talks drag on and on.
