Hey! Don't delete this picture it's an excellent post! I like all these type of pics with the old style ships. This is the sort of shot that would go on the wall, nice work.
Wonderful post, Cornelius. I am always intriqued by the number of sails and can't begin to imagine the purpose of each. They are pretty majestic looking vessels, no doubt and they look great together here in your shot.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I am jealous. I had a chance to take shots of tall ships this summer and I lost it, so I am glad you put up another image of these beauties...not bored a bit!
