It was a bit overcast by Saturday afternoon, but sailing through the Shoreline Sea was a vessel scheduled to take passengers on cruises of the Eastern Seaboard.

The American Constellation, part of American Cruise Lines, was built in 2017, has five decks and carries 170 passengers in high style.

Her schedule of seven and ten night sailings begins on the fifth of May and continues through October, departing from Baltimore, Boston, Providence, and New York.

This ship has a long trip ahead to get to the East Coast.

UPDATE: Reader Bob Mathisen says 'According to their brochure we received from them this vessel is cruising Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands this summer."

Aha! Mystery solved. That's why they are in Puget Sound.

And isn't there a class of aircraft carriers called Constellation class?
