August 16, 2018: Full Sail in Liverpool Bay

GarryRF 8/16/183:52 AM

In May 2018 thirty ships like this arrived in Liverpool for a display from the nineteenth century. The Russian sailors ask for a donation of food as they often run out before they set sail again for France. A wonderful sight that captures the imagination of the millions that travel to watch them hoist the rigging and disappear into the sunset.

Great juxtaposition of old (practical) and newer (less practical) uses of wind power!
