This is the Bowsprit of the James Craig. / The bowsprit, or boltsprit, of a sailing vessel is a pole extending forward from the vessel’s prow. It provides an anchor point for the forestay’s, allowing the fore-mast to be stepped further forward on the hull. / If you are ever on a Sailing Ship or Tall Ship of any description, this is the best spot for a good image, by looking back over the deck or the masts, or alongside the outer hull,,,,. ============ Click here! if you want to see more and be able to read about the history of the James Craig.

My town ( Newcastle ) had it’s annual Maritime Festival today, and as a part of the celebration it had a nautical display. The Young Endeavour is a Tall Ship that is a replica of the ship that captain Cook used in the late 18th century to discover Australia. This is the rigging of the ship, taken from the Foreshore at Newcastle East.

Watercolor on slight tooth watercolor paper.
This de-commissioned oil rig, about 500 metres off Mabul Island, Borneo, is set up as budget accommodation for divers. / I was fascinated by this quirky, brightly-coloured structure which seemed so incongruous in the island paradise setting we were saying in. HDR created with tonal adjustment. Taken with the Nikon D200 I had at the time with a Nikkor 12-24mm wide-angle lens.
This is City Sailing # Two. It is a partial of the original scanned in to make cards and prints. This is a watercolor on rough watercolor paper. / Size is about 10” x 12”
Featured July 2009 The Nautical Group Thank you! Active II was built onsite (Adelaide Maritime Museum) in 1985. Designed to be a typical 1880’s ketch, the shipwrights took great pains to esnure that the vessel would be truly ship shape, even if it was never destined to catch the wind in its sails. Actve II was rigged by the generosity of the family of H.R. Doc Begg (1893-1971) who loved the sea and the ships that sailed thereon. / Active I was built in 1873 by J. Lowen of Port Adelaide and worked the South Australian coastal waters until 1959. An early example of a locally built ketch, Active I began and ended her life in Port Adelaide. In 1889 she collided with SS Wilcannia and was crushed and sunk at Dunn’s Wharf Port Adelaide. After being almost completely rebuilt she continued to work South Australian and interstate waters until 1959 when it was procliamed derelict. Active I was demolished in the Port River near the Jervois Bridge. / Active II serves the sea without getting wet. Her decks have been tramped by many feet, some young and some old (remembering), My grandchildren were amongst those feet … and I thank the Maritime Museum at Port Adelaide for shared experiences and interesting conversations sparked by our visit.
