sailing

Steveston

europeans first reached Vancouver at the end of the 18C, and their venerable sailing ships have fascinated people ever since..these are two of four that recently visited the area as part of a maritime festival..doubtless they are recreations, yet still thrilling enough to observe passing through coastal waters

Wow - these look genuinely old. A wonderful shot of them that cries out to me for a sepia toned mono version too. Do you know where these came from , David? ~BV~

Fine, classical sailing ships look marvelous flying their sails in the wind. The two of them are nicely composed in the frame.

Great view of these proud tall masted ships. I think this was what John Masefield was writing about. V

They really are stately, with the sun catching their sails. Much more romantic that today's utilitarian vessels.
