Sailing ship images

Post by Astrodene on Wed 28 Jul 2010, 12:32

To quote todays Old Salt Blog
Be warned. If you are interested in sailing ships, do not click on the link below if you have anything important to do for the next fifteen or twenty minutes or possibly much longer. Here is a absolutely fantastic archive of roughly two hundred photos and drawings originally published in Life Magazine of sailing ships and sailors, primarily from the last days of commercial sail. The only thing that is a disappointing is that most photos are not titled and no information is given on which ship is being photographed or even the date the photo was taken.

Astrodene,

I’m having trouble with the above link. Is it correct?

Both links seem to be working fine for me.

If you are still having problems perhaps try going to the home page of oldsaltblog.com and scrolling down to the post.

A great bunch of pictures. I also found that if you type in rigging setups in the search menu you get a great visual to help with reading. It was nice to get a pictoral view of a lugger and a gaff rigged ketch. For non sailer enthusiast it's great
