Cisne Branco is a tall ship ship of the Brazilian Navy hailing out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, though she travels worldwide. Cisne Branco ("Mute Swan") is a full-rigged ship built in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Damen Shipyard. Her keel was laid on 9 November 1998, launched and christened on 4 August 1999, delivered to Brazilian Navy on 4 February 2000, and commissioned as a Brazilian naval vessel on March 9, 2000. Cisne Branco made her maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to Brazil, celebrating the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil by the Portuguese Admiral Pedro Alvares Cabral. The ship's project is inspired by the design of the 19th century clippers. Cisne Branco is normally used in national and international representation activities to showcase the Brazilian Navy and Brazilian culture. As well, she is used as an instructional sailing ship by the cadets of the Brazilian Naval Academy, Academy of Merchant Marine, and other naval schools.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
Snap! You were lucky as you were able to photograph her in full sail. An excellent picture.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
were you using a tripod, leaning against something, or are your hands so steady that you can get this one just standing on the side. i keep thinking of how you told me to lean against something because i jiggle the camera. this is so good that you can see every detail on the sails and the rigging. very nice color. bravo!

Perfect background, great composition and such intricate detail that I can see the folds on the sails. Your recent boat images are just incredible Paul.
I am envious :=)
To my favorites this sails.
Many thanks for sharing this with me :o)

I'd heard of this beauty, (but hadn't seen it) and was actually in Brazil during its 500th, so I can tell you just how proud the Brazilian people are of their history, but it's a bit bittersweet.
As for the shot itself, love, as mimi said, the details of this craft. The somewhat pale blues of the sky and water compliment the whites of the boat, and give this shot a very nautical feel indeed.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
Beautiful ship, very good detail and photo :-)
