    WILMINGTON — The tall ships Niña and Pinta arrived in the Port City today, as residents, tourists and media gathered to take photos.

    As the ships sailed up the Cape Fear River, crowds assembled along the riverwalk and the water (check out photos, taken from the river). Kelly Marie Brookshire took the air, launching a drone over the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge. Brookshire assembled her pictures into a video, which she shared with Port City Daily.

    “My hobby is photography and with my drone I am able to capture a whole new perspective,” Brookshire said. “Our area is so beautiful and we are very fortunate to have the tall ships visit our town.”

    The Niña and Pinta will docked at the Port City Marina through Sunday, May 21 (get more info here).
