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.

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.

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.

Built 1930-31, Royal Shipyard (formerly), Castellamare di Stabia. and carried out many voyages before World War II. The period of the war was the only time the ship has not been active. The elegant, three-mated full rigger serves as the training vessel of the Italian Naval Academy.The entire rig and all the sheets are traditional materials: Canvas sails and hemp ropes. The only synthetic on board is the mooring lines, which have to be an approved type for some of the ports they visit. The sheets, laid end to end, span 35 km. Amerigo Vespucci had a sister ship, the “Christopher Columbus” (named in Italian, and I can’t do it justice). Both were built as replicas of an 18th century vessel (sorry, not sure of it’s name). This sister ship was given to Russia as war reparations immediately after WWII. The Russians (apparently) had no interest in maintaining such an impractical “warship”, and decommissioned it shortly afterwards. The Italians preserved two paintings from the other vessel, and these now hang at opposite ends of the wardroom at the stern of Amerigo Vespucci. The crew take the vessel very seriously. They’re highly aware that (ignorant) people consider it anachronistic and silly, and have well-developed and well-reasoned explanations as to why it is not true. Other than it’s training duties, they visit other countries and take dignitaries aboard, to promote diplomatic understanding. It’s run as a warship. Naval dress, armed sailors and so on. This only adds to the disorienting sensation when you’re on board. It has twin steering, one manual and one hydraulically assisted. The hydraulics are used to shift the rudder with the smaller crew aboard, and are driven by a wheel about 75cm in diameter. The manual steering is used when the vessel has a full crew aboard, and are driven by four parallel wheels of about 150cm in diameter. Two men are assigned to each wheel at all times. Twelve turns of the large wheels is one degree of rudder. Decking is tar-bonded teak, scrubbed daily and replaced every three years. All of the winches aboard are man-powered, with reduction gearing in the capstan. The one exception is the anchor winch, which has an (optional) hydraulic assist. The main winches are the size of a birdbath (80cm diameter), with an ornate brass plate embossed with an image of the ship under sail. Everything aboard is immaculately clean and polished. Sailors carefully carry their cigarette ash to ornate brass ashtrays in the shape of the prow of a man-o-war hung on the sides of the deckhouses Nikon D300 Sigma 28/70
