Found a nice video of some "Tall Sailing Ships".

The Tall Ships

Could you imagine running one of these tall sailing ships?

WOW!


I would love to own that clip in Hi Def


Dubble

Too cool. I've been on a 3 masted tall ship, but those 5 stack boys are something to behold. Thats a lot of canvas aloft!

I would love to go for a ride on one of those huge ships. Maybe spend a week on board of one of those 5 mast ships... Maybe one day... if I won the lottery, i buy one for myself and just live onboard and travel perhaps around the globe...

You buy, I'll be glad to sail with you, but I sure as heck don't want to pay for the maintenance of those sails

Those tall ships are totally awesome in appearance!

The 60M Brig, Prince William is for sale.

Doesn't say how much, but I'm sure at 8 yrs. old and 1.5 million nautical miles somebody could work out a deal.

Personally though, I'm holding out for a Barquentine. There were a couple in the video. Think I'll outfit 'er with haze gray canvas, deck guns and gun ports.

Okay, the wife is looking at me a little funny because I keep running the video over and over (really cool clip), and jumping around between different pages on the 'net.

I think the two nearly identical ships are part of the Windjammer Barefoot Cruises fleet.

The five-masted ship is the Royal Clipper.

At 439 feet with a 54 foot beam and a mast height of 197 feet, and at 5,000 tons, she might be a little tricky to trailer.

Can you imagine calling SeaTow?
