(Main) contests->b/w challenge
This is the former HNLMS (His Majesty Netherlands Ship) 'De Buffel' ('The Buffalo') depicted in the Maritime Museum Rotterdam, before she was moved to Hellevoetsluis, a former 'Navy Town' in The Netherlands as well.
It's my weekly entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Your B/W presentation does this fine, historic sailing vessel justice, Cornelius. Best of luck in the BWC.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
A wonderful photo Cornelius and I enjoyed reading about this amazing vessel. Almost 150 years old and looking fabulous :)
Thank you for putting it in the BWC.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
A striking photograph of this old warship. The b/w version has brought out the details so clearly. A perfect entry for the challenge.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Mind blowing beauty and challenge, marvelous detail and angle, they sure knew how to create such fabulous ships

Dearest Agent SEAS,
This ship is like a Greek goddess of wisdom and also victory in ancient Greek mythology, Athena. Proud, glorious and almost equally ancient, yet a perfect lady. Image is perfect in b/w I agree - although I can imagine it in colour, still this is the creme de la creme.
Hugs and kisses,
SAM & SAAB

If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.
Wonderful detail on this ship and in very impressive condition as well for its age. Of course your photograph is very striking in bringing out the character of this ship.

It was Brunel who made the propeller popular and made ships like this possible. A fine entry for the b/w challenge C.

I found it interesting that this was the first Royal Netherlands Navy ship without sails SEA. Phlossie was right on with his remarks.
Great shot and looks good in b/w.
