Lord Nelson

[xenith]

The British Lord Nelson is owned by the Jubilee Sailing Trust and was "purpose built to enable able-bodied and physically disable people to sail together". I'm going to take the easy way and put up the photos in the order I took them, because I can't remember being on board. (I remember going o nboard and leaving, but not the in-between parts) so I can't really make any useful comments.


















These are handy, especially as the angle is very steep.



First thing, a view of the length of the ship.





About to go through this door (note the steps inside where someone is coming up)



The bridge.



Down those steps.



At the base of the steps, then through the door and past where that guy is selling stuff.





Back through the door I just came out of.



Looking back towards the stern.





Just before the bow. That gate/fence bit runs along the edge of the bowsprit. It looks like it's out over the water



Bow from the starboard side.



Now headed back towards the stern.





There's the guy selling stuff, from the other side.











That's the same door in the photo just after I boarded.







And one last photo before leaving.






If you want to see a better view of the ship, the virtual tour images on the website are gorgeous.

It's a bit jarring to see all that tech stuff on the bridge, lol.

It's quite a modern ship :)

Very weird on something like Endeavour. Recreated 18th century above. Late 20th century below.
