Tallships in the Harbour

[Helen B]

Lovely pictures of lovely vessels.

No... that's not why I'm here either... Oh yeah!!! Before this thread got so utterly derailed by a certain popular poster... Those tailships as you call them are so cool. Is there a way one could ride on one? Nice picts all around Anty.

You can sign up as temporary crew on a lot of tall 'ships' (they aren't really ships - a ship-rigged vessel has square sails on all masts, and at least three masts) and pay for the privilege. There's nothing quite like it. It isn't anywhere near as raw and brutal as it was in the days of commercial sail, however. Mariners International is a good place to start.

Good luck,
Helen

Nice shooting Jeanney. Must have been a really great thing to see from your place. Gotta love the third as my fave.

Congrats on the races. Was lookin for you on the news, but...
