Tall ships

 Sepia Saturday's suggestion this week is...something about boats.


I found I'd saved an interesting chart describing parts of a ship.


I've been interested in the ships that used to move all the products around the world in commerce...I had several generations of Captains of these ships in my ancestry.  There were ship builders who lived along the coasts of New England, and ship captains who sailed regularly to China and even a wood carver who carved an Eagle design for a wall hanging.

(BELOW) STS Pogoria is a Polish barquentine launched in 1980. She was designed by the naval architect Zygmunt Choreń as the first in a series of (18 total) middle and large-size contemporary sailing vessels.

Today's quote:

When we hide and try to be invisible and unseen by all, we are only really hiding from ourselves.
