Hull and Rig
I took far too many photos of this ship - but the connection runs deep...

I have many more photos - but this is enough for now...
Cutty Sark
The ship, that for me, started it all - I built a model of the Cutty Sark when I was 12.
This is what first enflamed my passion for Tall Ships!

Victory for Scott...
I have no idea why I look so glum - I was in 7th heaven at the time ;)
Reviewing the troops in front of Victory
I was in Portsmouth with a troop of cadets, and they entertained us with drill in the shadow of the Victory
HMS Victory
I tried to get the entire ship into my viewfinder, but was clearly unsuccessful. However, I think this gives a pretty good idea of how impressive she must have been on the ocean!
