Your correspondent got this photo of the Danish frigate HMDS
Thetis from the Brooklyn Bridge this morning. She was approaching Pier 7, at the foot of Atlantic Avenue, where she is now docked. I hope the bars along Atlantic are well stocked with Carlsberg beer.
Thetis is visiting New York along with nine other ships from various nations, making up NATO Mine Counter-Measures Group 1.
Update: Belgians, Canadians, Dutch, and Norwegians join in! More photos and text after the jump.

Docked at the south side of Pier 7, front to rear, are: the Norwegian minesweeper KNM
Rauma, the Belgian minesweeper BNS
Lobelia, and the Dutch frigate HNLMS
Tromp. Not pictured, on the north side of Pier 7, docked in front of
Thetis, is the Dutch minesweeper HNLMS
Urk.

Docked on the north side of Pier 8 are the Canadian minesweepers HMCS
Shawinigan (704) and
Goose Bay (707).
Better put some Duvel Ale, Molson, Heineken, and Ringness in the cooler, too. And, maybe some akavit.
