This is Tecla, the third of the Dutch ships on their trip around the world. Built in 1915. And that's all I can remember. This is the last ship I looked at.

Lord Nelson
Sep. 29th, 2013 07:04 pm
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.

Oosterschelde, from Rotterdarm. One of the three Dutch ships travelling around the world together. They have a web site for the voyage. Their next stop is Sydney, for the Naval Review, and then onto New Zealand.

Some of these are a bit weird. Not the first few. They're just normal night time photos, to warm up with :)

HMAS Sydney
Aug. 14th, 2013 07:18 pmI don't appear to have posted these.
HMAS Sydney, guided missile frigate, was in Hobart during the weekend of Wooden Boat Festival. It's the fourth ship to carry that name and if I can find the web page, you can go and look at the important information

Just a little photo
Feb. 10th, 2013 08:01 pmFor all the tall ships that come and go through the harbour, getting a photo of them in full sail has always been a tad difficult. Once they get close enough to the waterfront to photograph, they're motoring with no sails. So you might understand why I love this photo :)
Enterprize on the Derwent.

Sea Shepherd ship tour
Apr. 5th, 2012 02:39 pmSea Shepherd's MY Bob Barker, and a sign saying "Free Ship Tours".
Sea Shepherd is best known, at least in these parts, for their confrontations with the Japanese whaling ships, and the Bob Barker is just back from doing that in Antarctica. But they're also occupied with campaigns opposing the dolphin slaughter at Taiji, in the Galapagos Island (sharks for their fins) and some things I don't remember but if you're interested check their website.
I'd just left the Endeavour after the "familiarisation tour" as a prelude to the ship being open to the public the next day. It was cold and wet, and I was hiding under a shelter waiting for the latest squall to pass.
