Sort of a landscape!!!

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I walked from end to end and tried lots of different angles to get as much rigging into the shot as possible.

Thanks. There were tourist on board but I was on my way to something else.

@jamibann
Hi Issi. Most people put forward that there is only one “rope” on the ship. The bell rope which is used to ring the ship’s bell. All the rest are lines, halyards, sheets etc.

[Dione Giorgio]

Fav. I am deeply in love with these tall ships. I like your frontal capture of this beauty and it looks so great in b&w. At the moment I am gathering information on the net to try and make a model of one of these with from the wood of fruit crates.

[Bucktree]
