A new ship

Not seen this one in Charlestown harbour before.

Maybe it's a rival pirate ship.

Neat shot of this ship's details

Going to board it? ;-)

@domenicododaro It would make a good pirate ship. Small and fast by the looks of her. She could do with a few cannon though. :)

When I see pictures of these old stone structures, I always wonder, who built them, and how were they constructed . . .

Good shot

@octogenarian Charlestown harbour was built in the 1790's by Charles Rashleigh to accommodate the booming China clay industry. Most of the buildings seen here were built as part of that project and are constructed from granite blocks and lime mortar.

Nice shot - looks a great place to visit!

@swillinbillyflynn ... everything by hand, and granite blocks carted in wheelbarrows and horsedrawn carriages? I would like to see a documentary film of the work...
Amazing structures.
