St. David (1868-1905)

Die St. David, zu Wasser gelassen 1868, später umbenannt, abgewrackt 1905. Bei der Gelegenheit habe ich auch gleich noch gelernt, daß Klipper für ihre Zeit schnelle Segelschiffe waren und was die Unterschiede zwischen Rahsegel und Schratsegel sind.

    I did not know that there was a difference in sail shapes. Or rather I had never thought much about it before. That is what happens when you do not go sailing.

    There are very many technical terms in seaman's language, I do not know for most of them what they mean. Well, I love the Sea, but I'm living sooo far away...

    At least you are closer than I am; I live 20 hours from the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic and 29+ hours from the Pacific. Of course I live only 2.5 to 3 hours from Lake Superior, there would be sailing ships there. (Though at the moment the main road to Duluth is under construction and it takes about 5 hours to get there.)
