Hi Texasboy. Man after my own heart.
I too am a maritime man and have been since a boy. Currently I sail a turn of the century, square-rigged ( brigantine ) Baltic trader.
Here I am waving from the t'gallant starboard yard at the Whitehaven Maritime festival.
I also visited Belafast the last two summers for your excellent maritime festival and we were open to the public, come and see us next summer!.
I have a vast resource of ship photography as our family owned a ship repairers and engineers. I shall find more for you later as it's very late now.
Meanwhile have a couple of these.
and lastly for now, but not least, your very own Jeannie Johnstone.
Oh and I almost forgot, I'm a painter as a hobbyist since my semi_retirement and here is my interpretation of out tub under full sail in the Irish Sea.
I'm new here and don't wish to offend anyone but all my images are under the protection of a creative commons licence and have some rights reserved. This won't matter to you of course but I thought it safer to mention in case they turn up elsewhere. You may do as you wish with them for personal use and I'll find you many more should you wish.
