CaptainCiaran Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Here are some of the ships I've seen: Constellation -- Baltimore, Maryland Clipper City -- Baltimore, Maryland Pelican -- Montreal, Quebec Elizabeth II -- Manteo, North Carolina Bluenose II -- Lunenburg, Nova Scotia Hector -- Pictou, Nova Scotia I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird. I just do what I do. -- Johnny Depp
William Brand Posted March 27, 2006 Author Posted March 27, 2006 The Hector is a beauty. I weep for the loss of the Pelican. Damn terrible loss.
Rumba Rue Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Geesh, I've seen so many I can't even begin to list them all!
lady snow Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 what happened to the pelican? that ship is gorgeous! i was on the piers when the tallships came into ny harbor on july 4th of 1976. it was a like a ringside seat with no oone to spoil the view. when i was about 9 a portugese ship was docked at the brooklyn piers and my grandparents took me to tour it. i think the neatest thing to me (then at least) were all the hammocks the sailors slept in. it was the first time i had ever been on a ship. ~snow with faith, trust and pixiedust, everything is possible if it be tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Coastie04 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 This could take a while to load... Lady Washington & Hawaiian Chieftain Adventuress (2 pics because she was the first I sailed on and deserves the credit) Californian Lynx (left) Swift of Ipswich Zodiac (see above image) Mystic Whaler Argia Providence Pride of Baltimore II I know there's more, but these are the ones I could remember setting foot on, and not even all of them. I've sailed a few of them, and worked on a few of the others. I fear if I put any more pictures in this post, then it will be too large. Coastie Note: OK I did try to post too many images. I'll split this into two posts. She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
Coastie04 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Picton Castle (highly recommended if you ever get a chance to see her) Eagle Bluenose II (see above image) Mircea Amistad Star of Alaska (formerly, I just can't remember how to spell her current name) Charles W. Morgan Brilliant (I've actually raced against this one) Europa (see above image) Alcyone Wawona Black Pearl Batkivshchyna (see above image) Coastie She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
Arthur Richards from Kent Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Geesh, I've seen so many I can't even begin to list them all! What she said Touch somebody you don't know today with a smile.

She was suffering from wood rot and she sank. I contacted the owners to see what could be done about a month ago, but they informed me that too much of her was destroyed by the flow of water to salvage.
