The Sagres III - View From Stern

The NRP Sagres III is a tall ship and school ship of the Portuguese Navy since 1961.
The ship is a steel-built three masted barque, with square sails on the fore and main masts and gaff rigging on the mizzen mast.
Her main mast rises 42 m above the deck. She carries 22 sails totalling about 2,000 m² (21,000 ft²) and can reach a top speed of 17 knots (31 km/h) under sail.
She has a sparred length of 89 m (295 ft), a width of 12 m (40 ft), a draught of 5.2 m (17 ft), and a displacement at full load of 1,755 tons.

Here crewmen are getting her ready to sail out of San Diego Bay to Hawaii, her next destination.
She will then sail home for Portugal after having been at sea for over a year.
