.......mmmm so can anyone see the stars through all this rigging.... and how does one keep tabs on all this rope?
I must say that there is something romantic about a tall ship, but personally I like terra firma.
NRP Sagres, a Portuguese navy training ship stopped in at Port Elizabeth for a visit this week. Like many other people in the city I could not resist taking time to visit her.

Great idea for SWF. Beautiful pictures :-) Well done
I went back to take a second look at Suzy's tall ship photos from earlier in the week. Both of you got awesome views. Dueling cameras?
Lovely pictures of a very beautiful ship!!
Great SWF shots!!!
Isn't she a beauty? Thanks for sharing this.
What a beautiful set of photos. Really enjoyed looking at them.
OH WOW! This is something I don't see every day. ;-)
Happy Sky Watch!
Hello - lovely pictures
and i LOVE the Elefant
Smil from monika
I come back ;)
Wonderful shots...and how did they keep up with all those ropes?
and I am glad I don't have to climb up anything there.
That one is a really grand Tall Ship, beautifully captured! :-)
I miss seeing a tall ship every now and then. Somehow, they don't sail down the Danube.
Ships like that draw a crowd. Great skywatch picture.
I agree with you that I also prefer terra firma. But these shots are stupendous! I bet you enjoyed visiting the ship and catching all the photos. Come visit me at my Photologue - although my shot today isn't nearly as good as yours! :D
Theseare great Shots Max... love the 'Rigging'

These are fanatsic, especially the second all the rigging against that beautiful sky.
I love tall ships. Hubby and I were going to take a sail on one of the Windjammer cruise ships, which are mostly tall ships like this, but they filed for bankruptcy protection :-( I guess hard times are falling on everyone.
Peace - D
I had to learn that poem in school too. And funnily enough that first line is all I remember. When you're on one of those boats, it doesn't feel so unstable - give it a try. Lovely series of photos - thanks for sharing them with us!
Who doesn't love seeing tall ships?! They're amazing -- and your intro lines from John Masefield are perfect.
A beautiful ship and wonderful shots!:)
Have a nice weekend:)
excellent! I am a land lubber too! but I love to watch :)
Absolutely beautiful. I can almost understand the attraction of going to see in something so lovely.
Always a pleasure to visit your site and view all your photos.

I too love tall ships and would gladly sail on one for a few days but definitely not around the Cape of Good Hope or The Horn of Africa.
I prefer to leave that sort of thing to the Ancient Mariner. Great shots, also of the geese and if I may make so bold, the goslings?
A beautiful ship! It would take a navy to keep all those ropes untangled. :-)
wow! never mind the skies without the stars... the ship's too nice already!
I keep on saying it, but I wish I was hear to see and photograph the ship.
Great shots. "And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by" John Masefield.
The Tall Ships are always so neat to look at. I think it would be fun to travel on them for awhile but I don't know that I would want a job on one.
That is one grand ship! Wow. I am always amazed that sailors can figure out all that rigging and make it go!
Beautiful lines and angles. I guess I like Terra Firma too but the Tall Ships are simply beautiful.
Max-e these are bautiful ship photos, and wow lot of workmanship. Anna :)
