Framed by a colorful sunset is the Trincomalee. Built in Bombay India in 1817, it was made out of teak, due to oak shortages in Britain as a result of shipbuilding drives during the Napoleonic Wars. The ship is part of the Maritime Experience, a visitor attraction in Hartlepool located in northeast England. The attraction is a recreation of an 18th century seaport.

This figurehead reminded me a bit of Mary Poppins. Her garb just needed an umbrella instead in her hands it looks like a riding crop. Perhaps it was to keep the sea at bay and protect those under her watchful eye.

Acrylic on stretched canvas “Tall Ships….....” has been featured in “Hand painted or Drawn Vehicles” and “Realist Paintings about Water” The Tall Ships are groups of wooden hulled , masted ships of yesteryear which are still kept in shape for sailing. They are the ships of the 1700’s and 1800’s and make trips to harbors all over the world. What a majestic sight they are in these modern times. This is an homage to the great masted ships of the past.

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.

The Halifax, Nova Scotia, Tall Ship Festival July 2009 was a spectacular event to attend. We had mixed weather, but ended up with two beautiful days for taking photos of the Tall Ships in Halifax Harbour. The four-masted bark, built in 1926 as the “Padua”, is the last vessel of its kind. Built as a cargo-carrying sailing ship, she was one of the Flying P-Liners, the sailing ships of the German F. Laeisz shipping company from Hamburg. The last Windjammer is still active today, although it has undergone a change in profession and turned training ship. Today the “Kruzenshtern” is the world’s second largest sailing ship – second only to another Russian ship, “Sedov” – and, without a doubt, the most famous ship in the contemporary Russian sailing fleet.

Figurehead of the HMS Bounty Tall Ship at the Halifax, Nova Scotia Tall Ship Festival, July 2009. The fog was incredibly thick when we first viewed the ships, followed by heavy rain off and on. The fog provides a bit of a mystic atmosphere. © 2009 Anne Hale. /

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
