World's Largest Bowling Pin

Disappointed! No bowling pin in sight.

World's Largest Bowling Pin

The World's Largest Bowling Pin has been painted and branded to the local NHL team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, but it is still quite the sight. It's harder than ever to see, as the waterside of the small courtyard is undergoing massive construction and the fence is right up on the pin. Still worth the trip and a great photo op, especially for Lightning fans who also happen to be bowlers.

Went on a cruise this past week and waiting outside the dock was this bowling pin, claiming to be largest in the world. We were in Tampa.
