Marvelous series Walter. Now, as I read, I can identify a lot of what they talk about. Terima Kasi Banjak

Another stellar gallery Walter, lots of great view points and attention to details. Some of HMS Surprise's sails were made in a sail loft, you guessed right around the corner from where I live, by the Soper Sails Loft.
