So the United States marked the 100th anniversary of independence with a great exposition of science and technology in the city of Philadelphia, the 1876 exposition.

And the contents are still on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington at the Museum of Industry.

That basically preserves the highlights of that 1876 show.

It celebrated the 200th anniversary in 1976 with many events.

But the highlight was a giant regatta of sailing ships in New York Harbor that was jointly American and British.

As if to say, 200 years ago, the most violent battles of the revolution were fought between the United States and Britain in New York Harbor.

And today, these two intimate friends are together honoring the 200th anniversary in New York Harbor with ships that look like the ships of the 18th century.

What a beautiful image.

And the 250th MMA fighting.
